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 WriteFreely 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 distraction-free, Markdown-first blog that federates over ActivityPub
- A personal or small-team writing space without a CMS's overhead
Good to know
- Signing keys live on the mounted volume — losing it breaks federation with accounts that already follow you
- Run the container once interactively (or mount a config.ini) to complete WriteFreely's own setup wizard before it serves real traffic
