# Deploy Ubuntu 24.04 Terminal on Railway | Browser-Based Linux Shell Hosting

**Ubuntu 24.04 Terminal** gives you a full **browser-accessible bash shell** running on **Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat)** — 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 24.04 Terminal on Railway

Hosting Ubuntu 24.04 Terminal on Railway spins up an **Ubuntu 24.04 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 for a Web-Based Ubuntu Terminal

- Run and test shell scripts from any device on the latest Ubuntu LTS
- Explore and validate new Ubuntu 24.04 features and package versions
- Use as a lightweight persistent remote development environment accessible from a browser

## Dependencies for Ubuntu 24.04 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 24.04 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 |
