hosting suggestion #20

Closed seiyria closed 3 years ago

seiyria commented 3 years ago

hey! I can't find a link to your discord server, but I wanted to suggest how to host this: since you only have static data, why not host it all on netlify? you don't really need a server component since you don't seem to do any logic, so maybe a static host is best.

Hi! The Discord server is linked on the website as well in the repository (you need to click on the Discord "badge" in the README file). Regarding the hosting, I don't really have an issue hosting it on my own server, however I will check out how good of a solution Netlify would be, but it will take some time.

Netlify has GitHub sync. If you're only hosting static files then all you need to do is log into Netlify, select the repository, and set a build command (if necessary).

Hi, I've looked into Netlify now and would have considered using it, but I've been made aware of another small service called @railwayapp by a friend of mine. Railway is a small startup hence I've decided to use it instead of Netlify because I feel like giving the "new kids in the block" a try. Maybe if I'm not happy with Railway I'll switch to Netlify, but for now I'll use Railway as mentioned.

Oh I didn't realize the API was dynamic, nevermind.
