Public CORS Server down

[Seneral]

So heroku stopped their free tier of dynamos and also deleted my free credits I had left so the CORS server is down for now. I am investigating some alternatives, if you have any ideas besides hosting it myself (which I'd do in the worst case) or paying 5€/month, please share them here.

vercel can be good option someone else suggested to me for this same project some time back

Ok so finally got a server for another project and set the CORS server up there. Unfortunately it already has problems despite working at the beginning. Since I was working on other stuff it is not inconceivable that I already got rate-limited. Let's see if it will settle. Here's the new public cors host, an update should set it automatically (or suggest to replace it): https://flagplayer-cors.seneral.dev/ While it is still down, this public cors host is also a possibility (though as with all public cors hosts, comments don't load, they require custom handling): https://proxy.cors.sh/

So for desktop use, please continue to use a local server. I recommend to set it up with a script that starts the server with the web app, and closes it with the web app, so that it looks and behaves like any normal program. For me on linux it looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

cd /path/to/FlagPlayer/server
export HOST=localhost
export PORT=26060
node --max-http-header-size=65536 yt-server.js &
export SERVER_PID=$!

echo "Node Server PID: " $SERVER_PID
# If using chromium binary
#/usr/bin/chromium --profile-directory=Default --app-id=bfnegiddnbgkelpklhkmpgihhpfgobjm
# If using a flatpak, e.g. UngoogledChromium
flatpak 'run' '--command=/app/bin/chromium' 'com.github.Eloston.UngoogledChromium' '--profile-directory=Default' '--app-id=bfnegiddnbgkelpklhkmpgihhpfgobjm'

kill $SERVER_PID

Couldn't resolve it, restarted server, it works now. Issue was no outgoing connections worked, ingoing did, not triggered by anything I did afaik. So I'll see if it pops up again

Yeah it's quite a lot to get into, also to secure it properly.

Compared to the heroku hobby dyno I used before, maybe. That one was free and shut down after half an hour, so the first request took a while. Before THAT I used free github credits for I think nearly 2 years so it was also fast.

Been solid so far so I'll close this
