what is ray?

ray is a comprehensive system for deploying, managing, and routing web applications on self-hosted servers. Given a project configuration file, ray can build, deploy and make your project accessible through ray's reverse proxy (ray router). Ray can automatically deploy and update from a remote git repository, manage different deployment channels on different branches, handle authenticating users on private deployment channels, load balance your application to other ray servers, monitor your projects, notify you if anything goes wrong, and a lot more.

getting started

first, go through the installation guide. Then, we recommend the guide "deploying a project" to learn some of the basics.

after that, you might want to explore some of ray's features using either the docs features section or looking at the configuartion references (1, 2).

you can also join the discord if you have any questions.
