how do i host a websocket without money

how

if you want it to be public and be up for a while , no way

the only real way is self hosting, but you would need a computer to be on 24/7

like a pi

but if you wanted it to be public you would have to pay anyway

Cloudflare tunnels are free, but you need a domain still. Or you could use something like ngrok but the link will change often.

yeah, i used cf testing tunnels to test my meower server host

https://try.cloudflare.com/

This forums, the Meower API and the Meower CloudLink server are all hosted over tunnels for free.

still gotta give personal info tho

Only email, that’s all I had to give.

ok then, what about buying the actual domain

Depends what project it’s for, because if it’s open source then you could request a .eu.org domain which is free, otherwise just go around domain registrars and look for a domain to buy

new CF account for me, i think stuff like address was handled by mikedev

We all have different CF accounts, we’re not just logging into Mike’s. So we’ve all had to signup and create a personal account then Mike has added us into the Meower account.

try to create a cf tunnel

it just has my email, I didn’t need to give any more details than that

Oh, it does not fully check it ig

It doesn’t even require it, I just tested by making a new account

for cf tunnels

Cf tunnels definitely does not need payment, but I will test
