# Deploy and Host Ubuntu 22.04 Terminal on Railway

Ubuntu 22.04 Terminal gives you a full browser-accessible bash shell running on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — no SSH client, no local setup, no configuration needed. Files and packages you install persist across restarts thanks to a built-in volume mounted at /root. Just open the URL, enter your credentials, and you're in a live Linux terminal from anywhere.

## About Hosting Ubuntu 22.04 Terminal

Hosting Ubuntu 22.04 Terminal on Railway spins up an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Docker container with a ttyd web terminal exposed over HTTP. Railway handles the HTTPS proxy, domain, and container lifecycle automatically. A persistent volume is mounted at /root, meaning anything you install or create survives redeploys. You simply set your username and password, deploy, and access your terminal via the Railway-provided URL. The container comes pre-installed with a full set of commonly used CLI tools, making it ready for immediate use without any additional setup.

## Common Use Cases

- Run and test shell scripts from any device without a local Linux environment
- Quickly explore or debug Linux CLI tools and package behavior on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Use as a lightweight persistent remote development environment accessible from a browser

## Dependencies for Ubuntu 22.04 Terminal Hosting

- Docker (handled automatically by Railway)
- A Railway account with an active project

### Deployment Dependencies

- [ttyd — Terminal over HTTP](https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd)
- [Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Docker Image](https://hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu)
- [Railway Docs — Dockerfiles](https://docs.railway.com/builds/dockerfiles)

### Implementation Details

The container starts ttyd bound to the Railway-injected $PORT, protected by $USERNAME and $PASSWORD:

/bin/ttyd -p $PORT -c $USERNAME:$PASSWORD /bin/bash

A volume is mounted at /root to persist all user files across restarts.

Pre-installed tools:

Editors: vim, nano
System: htop, tree, lsof, strace, less, man
Files: unzip, zip
Build: gcc, g++, make, build-essential
Network: ifconfig, ip, ping, dig, openssh-client, telnet, netcat
Data: jq
General: sudo, python3, pip, git, curl, wget, neofetch

Need more? Install anything with:

apt-get install -y 

No sudo needed — the container runs as root. Files saved inside /root persist across restarts. Note that packages installed via apt-get are stored outside /root and will not survive a full redeploy.

| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| PORT | Port ttyd listens on (default: 7681) |
| USERNAME | Login username for the web terminal |
| PASSWORD | Login password for the web terminal |
