Railway makes it easy to deploy any public GitHub repo with the Deploy on Railway button. The button transforms any Railway Template into a 1-click deployable project.

Markdown

HTML

Use Cases

Since the Deploy on Railway button generates a deterministic and reproducible deployment, it is an excellent way to share your project with the public and let others clone your project.

Use cases include the following:

• README files
• Tutorials and guides
• Getting Started docs
• Websites and social profiles

The button is also a way to take advantage of the Railway Open Source Kickback program, which provides open source maintainers a financial incentive to maintain templates on Railway.

Requirements

The only requirement to create a Deploy on Railway button is to first create a template. Services within a template can point to any public repository.

Services can be specified with environment variables, and additional configuration options like a start command.

Starting with a New Template

To create a Deploy on Railway button, you'll first need a public template. We've made it easy to get everything you need at railway.app/button.

This page is designed to guide you through the template creation process. The requirements are as follows:

1. Template Name - Name the template

2. Services - Specify one or multiple services

3. Databases - Add the databases needed for the template

4. Demo Project - Choose a public project as a preview for the template

That's all there is to it!

Starting with an Existing Template

To start with an existing template, log in to the Railway Dashboard and visit https://railway.app/account/templates.

From this page, you'll be able to create and share templates.
