Continuing the discussion from Trying discourse and plugins for github: particularly post 9 okay so @NateDhaliwal when I go to set up something on digital ocean it costs money you said you have a different way of doing it then I requested for the link to your free installer and then I asked if there are other parts that also need money that you have a free way to do thanks kyle

A few things before I begin: Nothing is always free. Some way or the other, you’ll have to pay. Compute Engine requires a credit card, though it is free. Take a look at Compute Engine in the table: [image] Free Google Cloud features and trial offer | Google Cloud Free Program | ... Learn about Google Cloud's free offerings and free trials, plus how to upgrade your account. However, I pay for the domain. Namecheap can get you domains at >$1 a month for the first year.

For my email server, I use Brevo, which gives 300 emails a day on the free plan. I also forgot to mention, rebuilds on my instance take about 3 hours. But you can probably set up tmux or screen to run it in the background.
