Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard runs it standalone on a server you already pay for — no addons to provision, with zero-downtime deploys and scaling still included.
Deploying LocalAI is one piece of a bigger stack you can keep building — add a database, a worker, a cache, or another app, all on the same servers you already pay for.
Good for
- A drop-in OpenAI-compatible API for text, image and audio models on CPU-only hardware
- Self-hosted inference without depending on any single vendor's runtime (bundles llama.cpp, whisper.cpp, and more under one API)
- Air-gapped or offline model serving
Good to know
- Ships with no models preloaded — install one from a model gallery or mount your own GGUF files into the models volume after deploy
- This is the default CPU build; GPU acceleration needs the matching -cuda/-vulkan image variant instead
