## Documentation

# Deploy and Host ZFile on Railway

[ZFile](https://github.com/zfile-dev/zfile) is an online file manager that unifies S3, OneDrive, Google Drive, FTP, SFTP and local storage with previews and share links.

## About Hosting ZFile

This template runs the `zhaojun1998/zfile` image with a persistent volume at `/root/.zfile-v4`. On first visit ZFile shows an installation page where you set the admin account; do this immediately, because whoever opens the page first becomes the admin.

## Common Use Cases

- Personal cloud drive
- Public file index over object storage
- Share links for files

## Dependencies for ZFile Hosting

- One service with a volume; nothing else

### Deployment Dependencies

- [ZFile on GitHub](https://github.com/zfile-dev/zfile)
- [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/zhaojun1998/zfile)

## Why Deploy ZFile on Railway?

Railway gives you a public HTTPS URL, a persistent volume and automatic restarts with no server to maintain.
