Railway

A socket on Railway from the published image.

  1. In Railway, create a project and add a service from a Docker image: ghcr.io/astrit/slash-socket-server:latest.
  2. Variables: add SOCKET_ADMIN_KEY (Railway's generator or openssl rand -hex 24) and, if you like, SOCKET_MANIFEST with the manifest's JSON.
  3. Add a volume to the service, mounted at /data.
  4. Settings → Networking: generate a railway.app domain, or add your own and create the CNAME it shows.
  5. Keep it at one replica.

Railway sets PORT for you and proxies WebSockets with TLS, so pages use wss://your-domain.

Then manage it from your Mac: in Slash Socket open Fields → + Server, enter its address and admin key, and push a manifest (or set SOCKET_MANIFEST). Pages connect to wss://your-domain with the client from https://your-domain/client.js.
