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 Tuwunel 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 lightweight self-hosted Matrix homeserver for a small community or team
- Federating with the wider Matrix network without Synapse's resource footprint
Good to know
- All state lives in RocksDB on the mounted volume — there's no external database to configure
- server_name can't be changed after first boot without wiping the database, so get the hostname right before going live
