From nothing to a live site
Install Raytha, model your first content type and publish a page. The whole path takes minutes.
Choose how you run it
Raytha is self-hosted. Railway is the quickest way to a running site; Docker and source builds work anywhere.

What does Raytha need to run?
An ASP.NET Core host (the Docker image includes it) and a PostgreSQL database. Railway provisions both for you.
Is Raytha free?
Yes. Raytha is open source under the MIT license. You host it yourself, and you own your data.
Where do I get help?
Start with the developer docs and the user guide, then ask in GitHub Discussions. If you want hands-on help, see services and support.
