Requirements

• A Railway account (free tier available)
• A GitHub account
• Your Telegram API credentials (API_ID, API_HASH)

---

Step 1: Fork This Repository

Click the Fork button at the top right of this repo (or fork here)
This gives you your own copy that Railway can access.

---

Step 2: Create a New Railway Project

1. 
2. Choose Deploy from GitHub repo.
3. Connect your GitHub account (if not already connected).
4. Select your forked repository (zerolimit_backend).

Step 3: Configure Environment Variables

In Railway, open the Variables tab of your project and add:

Variable	Description
API_ID	Your Telegram API ID from my.telegram.org
API_HASH	Your Telegram API Hash from my.telegram.org

---

Step 4: Start Command & Port

Railway detects Python automatically, but verify:

• Start Command:

  python login.py
  

Port: 5000 (Railway sets PORT automatically, so in login.py make sure you bind host=0.0.0.0 and port=5000.)

Step 5: Deploy

1. Click Deploy.
2. Wait for Railway to build and start the container.
3. Once running, Railway gives you a public domain like: https://your-app-name.up.railway.app This is your backend API URL.

Step 6: Testing Your Backend

Visit:

https://your-app-name.up.railway.app/ping

If everything is working, you should see a JSON response like:

{ "status": "ok" }

Notes

• Free tier gives you 512 MB RAM and 5 GB storage per month.
• For heavy usage or many users, upgrade your plan.
• If deploying for the first time, you will be asked to log in via Telegram in the backend logs.
