[META] Need a host to run account creation script. | Megalinks MegaDB [META] Need a host to run account creation script.

ACCOUNT CREATOR

I made a site to get instant verrified MEGA Accounts. Refer to this thread for more info.

Till now, I've been running it from my own VPS. But since I use that VPS for many other purposes and it is often shutdown, the site works only intermittently.

( The site is working now but I can't keep my VPS ON 24/7).

If anyone has access to a VPS or personal server and is willing to host my app on it so everyone can get free accounts, then I'd appreciate it.

To provide some context, it is a Django app and it needs Django installed to run.

If interested, drop a comment. I'll pm you and we'll continue from there.

Openshift has a (for real) free option for a light-weight-ish server. It support Django, just create a new app and push the app folder to your assigned repository.

I've looked at it. The thing is, I need terminal access. As installing and properly running megatools is imperative for the script to function. That is why I've been hosting it on my VPS. Otherwise, I could've just deployed it for free on Heroku.

You can access via ssh if you're on the application's panel, look for

"Remote Access"

"Want to log in to your application?"

I've installed a few node modules via the terminal that way.

You could also disable hot deployment if you like (autostart after push).

Installing modules is different. I don't think any free hosts give permission to install software.

I tried and I can't install megatools using the shell access that they provide.

I believe you can use megatools (and other apt dependencies) on heroku. See https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/heroku/heroku-buildpack-apt

If you(or any volunteer) have an MSDN account you can get 150$ a month for free on Azure and run a server there.

I also recommend containerizing the application(if you have the knowledge) so it will be easy for someone to run on their server without giving you access to their terminal.

If you want, I can spin up a temporary Scaleway C1 server to help. Would this meet your needs?

[-] Cartmanishere | 2 points | Jun 27 2017 17:05:02

Yes, this would easily fit the needs.
