Why deploy on Railyard
Railyard provisions mysql and redis alongside it automatically — zero-downtime deploys, automatic backups and scaling come from the same platform, on a server you already pay for.
Deploying Lychee 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 private, self-hosted alternative to Google Photos for one person or a household
- Sharing photo albums via public links without a third-party photo host
- Owning your own photo library and its metadata/search index outright
Good to know
- MySQL and Redis are wired up automatically; the entrypoint runs Laravel's migrations on boot
- Create your admin account from the first-run setup screen in the UI — there's no default login
