Show HN: Free running back end server for you on publicly accessible IP I have automated the process for anyone who wants to set up a free server and experiment with a live environment on the cloud and everything to those of whom are studying and looking to dive into some fairly simply but educating code. The server that is set up doesn't cost money (there is a charge of one euro and a half per month at some point) but the machine itself is a powerful machine, and apart from the euro and a half, it doesn't cost money and you can keep it up as long as you want. Credit card details are required to register for the cloud environment. In order to use the script, you will need a Mac (not necessarily a new one or something that will make you risk data on it - the tutorial inside the repository also explains how to run everything within a virtual machine of Mac on a Mac). The environment that is set up is for Node.js, which runs a server on an IP that is publicly available from the Internet. The license is free for everyone, and if it helps you to learn, you can also merchandise it (save, make changes, and sell under any license you want). It's super cool in terms of the comprehensive knowledge gain and extremely lightweight for those who are interested in having some starting project to play with (which is simple yet interesting enough). From a size perspective, something like this took me less than 24 hours to write from A to Z. For those specifically interested in the front-end, UI, and graphics - I recommend not touching this. In terms of cloud, Amazon's CDN is much more relevant for Front End porpuses. Link: https://ift.tt/TPX3L6e June 16, 2023 at 11:27PM
