Anybody up for hosting demo of an opensource project

voldermort · January 2017

Hello everyone,

I am not sure if I should be asking for this here but I was wondering if somebody is willing to provide me a free VPS for my Open source project? Currently it's hosted on this URL: http://beta.raspchat.com/. I was running it on somebody's VPS and he is shutting down his instance soon. Project has been featured over ProductHunt, has 150+ GitHub stars, and has been used by many Raspberry Pi enthusiast now (Hell it can even run on an Android Phone). I would be more than happy to put on Powered by someone. Here is what hosting should have:

ARM/x86 CPU (minimum 1 core, higher the better)
512MB+ RAM
1B+ B/W on a 100Mbps+ (again it's all about showing speed so higher the better)
15GB+ Storage (SDD/HDD doesn't matter)
Not to mention an IP (shared ports are not good for friendly URLs)

Let me know if anyone is interested. Would be more than happy to talk about it (even on demo site do /help for all set of commands).

Why do you need so much storage? I could host you on one of my idles, but I'm a little concerned about warez/cp/etc. on the chat.

I will probably deploy a CI system so that every check-in is automatically deployed and have some crash reporting system too. I am not sure how much I will need but I am keeping a safe limit in mind.
