# VPS hosting
|
||
|
||
This hub links to the supported VPS/hosting guides and explains how cloud
|
||
deployments work at a high level.
|
||
|
||
## Pick a provider
|
||
|
||
- **Railway** (one‑click + browser setup): [Railway](/railway)
|
||
- **Fly.io**: [Fly.io](/platforms/fly)
|
||
- **Hetzner (Docker)**: [Hetzner](/platforms/hetzner)
|
||
- **exe.dev** (VM + HTTPS proxy): [exe.dev](/platforms/exe-dev)
|
||
- **AWS (EC2/Lightsail/free tier)**: works well too. Video guide:

|
||
|
||
## How cloud setups work
|
||
|
||
- The **Gateway runs on the VPS** and owns state + workspace.
|
||
- You connect from your laptop/phone via the **Control UI** or **Tailscale/SSH**.
|
||
- Treat the VPS as the source of truth and **back up** the state + workspace.
|
||
|
||
Remote access: [Gateway remote](/gateway/remote)
|
||
Platforms hub: [Platforms](/platforms)
|
||
|
||
## Using nodes with a VPS
|
||
|
||
You can keep the Gateway in the cloud and pair **nodes** on your local devices
|
||
(Mac/iOS/Android/headless). Nodes provide local screen/camera/canvas and `system.run`
|
||
capabilities while the Gateway stays in the cloud.
