Want to try out Ubuntu or need a lightweight version of Linux available at all times? 🚀 

This project allows you to deploy a fully functional Ubuntu environment in the cloud, accessible directly via your web browser.

## 🛠️ Configuration & Variables

### Environment Variables

Configure these in the **Variables** tab of your Railway dashboard. These variables control both the installation version and your login security:

| Variable           | Default  | Description                                                                       |

| :----------------- | :------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| **UBUNTU_VERSION** | `latest` | **(Build)** Set this to `22.04`, `20.04`, etc., to deploy your preferred version. |

| **USERNAME**       | `admin`  | **(Runtime)** Your custom username to login to the web terminal.                  |

| **PASSWORD**       | `admin`  | **(Runtime)** Your secure password to login to the web terminal.                  |

| **PORT**           | `8080`   | **(System)** The port assigned by Railway.                                        |

> **⚠️ SECURITY NOTE:** It is strongly advised to set a custom **USERNAME** and **PASSWORD** before deploying to prevent unauthorized access to your cloud terminal.

## 📂 Data Persistence (Recommended)

By default, Railway containers are ephemeral. To save your files permanently:

1. Create a **New Volume** in your Railway project.

2. Mount the volume to your Ubuntu service.

3. Set the **Mount Path** to `/root/workspace`.

4. All files inside this folder will persist even after a re-deploy!
