@ai6yr may have more suggestions

@John @ntnsndr I have my bots running on an AWS EC2 instance. For a small number of bots, you can probably get away with a AWS free tier (t2.micro or t3.micro) running Amazon EC2 Linux or Ubuntu. 750 hours per month free on that tier. Processing power is about the same as the Pis that @alwirtes mentions.

@ntnsndr Fly/Render/Railway as PaaS platforms that tend to be fastest from code -> running service.

If you package it up as a Docker image you could make it Cloudron custom app compatible ;)

I haven’t forgotten about the Cloudron survey BTW! Using a Cloudron hosted Airtable clone NocoDB to build the survey form 😅

@stillgreenmoss oh good to know about GL, thanks!

@ntnsndr so to answer more directly, imo if not trying to avoid dependence on major clouds then some container/app/functions as a service + that cloud's in-house nosql db is probably the easiest, where easiest is considered over the entire life of the application to include ongoing maintenance.

@ntnsndr and if trying to avoid dependence on major clouds and their specific products, then probably docker+sqlite on a VM

@stillgreenmoss yeah, my lab has a Cloudron system on DigitalOcean and I could always spin up something there. But trying to find the simplest possible thing.
