In 2023, what is your favourite way of hosting simple Django-based websites and applications for personal use?
@EvilDMP I host all of my projects on a raspberry pi.
I wrote a few scripts to automatically handle dynamic IP changes and it's surprisingly reliable. I had ~1 hour of downtime this year, but it was due to a power outage.
The only real issue is that disk i/o is kinda slow, so if your application is write heavy it can be a problem.
@esoria_dev @EvilDMP Here it is: https://github.com/anze3db/ipster
It's a golang program that checks your IP every few minutes and and updates Cloudflare if there was a change.
@EvilDMP DigitalOcean App Platform
@EvilDMP I don't, but if I had to, I'd look at https://fly.io/ I host one small Flask app and one small Discord bot there. No issues.
Smart freemium to prevent abuse by crypto miners etc. - you fill in card, but have plenty of credits for free which replenish.
@EvilDMP PythonAnywhere

PythonAnywhere but I'm biased
