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 SillyTavern 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 roleplay/chat frontend over a self-hosted or remote LLM backend
- Character-card based conversations with persistent personas
- Extending the chat UI with community plugins and extensions
Good to know
- It's a frontend only — point it at Ollama, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or another backend from its own Connection settings after deploy
- No authentication is enabled by default — it's meant for a single trusted user; don't expose it publicly without putting your own access control in front
