1 year ago Gitpod is only for development, not a permanent hosting solution.
I would recommend the public server. If your project outgrows the public server, you will have outgrown any free hosting.
That said, here are some Heroku alternatives with a free tier; maybe there is something for you – but I have no experience with any of them. I can also recommend Oracle Cloud with its very generous permanent free tier, but it’s a bit more complicated to set up and maintain.
Now the Free Heroku button has gone, can you please give a tutorial for us on how to set up our own permanent Free PeerJS Server? Where can we go?
Will the button to set up the GitPod PeerJS Server be a permanent server which is always on?
Once I click the Open in Gitpod button on the page:
https://github.com/peers/peerjs-server
t sets it all up fine. Also, when I type in the command npm install peer -g in the GitPod terminal, eveything appears to work and install.
But when I type peerjs --port 9000 --key peerjs --path /myapp it just says Error: Error: listen EAFNOSUPPORT: address family not supported :::9000 and freezes.
How can I get this to work?
Also how can I get this to be always on, even when I log out of GitHub?
