## Documentation

# Deploy and Host wallabag on Railway

## What is wallabag?

[wallabag](https://wallabag.org/) is an open-source read-it-later application that lets you save web articles and pages to read later in a clean, distraction-free format. It stores content privately on your own server, supports tagging and offline reading, and syncs across devices through web apps and mobile apps.

## About Hosting wallabag

Hosting [wallabag](https://wallabag.org/) involves running the application server, configuring a database for storing saved articles and metadata, and setting up persistent storage and environment variables. Because wallabag is built with PHP and Symfony, deployments typically run through a PHP runtime with a web server like Nginx or Apache.

A typical deployment also requires configuring background jobs for importing articles and managing feeds, setting up email settings for notifications, and enabling HTTPS access. When deployed on a platform like [Railway](https://railway.com), the infrastructure layer—such as container hosting, networking, and scaling—is managed for you, simplifying setup and ongoing maintenance.

## Common Use Cases

- **Personal read-later service** – Save articles, blog posts, and research material privately without relying on third-party services.
- **Self-hosted knowledge archiving** – Store long-form content for future reference with tagging and full-text search.
- **Team or research reading lists** – Share curated reading collections across a small team or research group.

## Dependencies for wallabag Hosting

- **PHP runtime** (compatible with Symfony requirements)
- **Relational database** such as PostgreSQL or MySQL
- **Background Queue** redis

### Deployment Dependencies

- SMTP server for authentication emails: [resend](https://resend.com) FREE plan is recommended
- wallabag project repository: https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag
- Railway deployment platform: https://railway.app
- Docker image (commonly used for deployment): https://hub.docker.com/r/wallabag/wallabag
