Host backend server on internet #21

Closed alexwohlbruck closed 2 years ago

alexwohlbruck commented 2 years ago

I have been working on a local development server so far, but I can't use that on the public wifi network at school. This means I am limited to doing all my work at home, not good. Need to find a hosting provider for the backend so I can run my server live online. @bnussman :)

Got the backend running on heroku, but there are issues with cookies not working across origins. I will server the frontend over the node server as well, keeping everything on one host. Then I can finally do away with Firebase as well.

Heroku won't be great long term because of the sleep issue, but I will find a better hosting solution later. Perhaps self-hosted will be best?

Heroku app is running well now. https://project-covalent.herokuapp.com/
