There’s a personal project of mine that requires an always-on server (though trigger-based is also okay). The server would be very low-octane: all it does aside from serving is scrape a website, wait 15 minutes, and repeat. The only target user is me and all my devices with a RSS reader; no one else.

I could use Jeff, if only Jeff would like to cooperate better. Using a paid hosting service is a total overkill for me, especially for a single project like this (if it’s something like @imgru, I might consider it). None of the free hosting services I looked at seems appealing to me, though I haven’t seen all of it obviously.

Any recommendations?

I’ve heard of people using a Raspberry Pi as a server

I don’t have one

I’m pretty sure they’re $50 or less for the less powerful versions, unless you were asking for options without paying at all

aren’t they still on shortage though?

oh, maybe idk
