This is a major blow to some of us: the free version of Nightscout has been relying on Heroku and they had an insanely meticulously detailed guide to set the whole thing up. https://nightscout.github.io/nightscout/new_user/ https://nightscout.github.io/nightscout/new_user/ I will need to ask them what's next :( Of course, I could figure out hosting myself, I do have a server but I don't need any more tamagotchis :(

Check out render.com, it is pretty similar but cheaper and supports more stuff like HTTP/2.

I'd be surprised if someone hasn't created a Docker file for that, to make self hosting much more streamlined.

  There's a Dockerfile but it's not as streamlined as the Heroku app, by far, the README makes this clear.

Oh hey I have a friend who’s child has diabetes and I make a little self-hosting personal computer. I’ll be adding nightscout for him asap - thanks for developing this. Usually self-hostable tools are fun toys - this is a nice change of pace.

One of our users migrated their Nightscout setup to Render recently. Here's the render.yaml (our Infra-as-Code file): https://github.com/ianchesal/cgm-remote-monitor/blob/render-migration/render.yaml https://github.com/ianchesal/cgm-remote-monitor/blob/render-... It uses the Dockerfile here: https://github.com/ianchesal/cgm-remote-monitor/blob/render-migration/Dockerfile.render https://github.com/ianchesal/cgm-remote-monitor/blob/render-...

  Does this work with the free tier?
  - iaresee 4y ago
    In theory it should. I don’t mind paying the $8/month fee so I do. I mentioned the guide and my work on the NightScout discord. If there’s interest I could do from scratch instructions for those doing entirely new setups. Note: I’m the person who did the migration and wrote the notes linked to above.

      Update: here are my complete notes on migrating. https://gist.github.com/ianchesal/5c96c566ab99b60c2c557711fa52a720 https://gist.github.com/ianchesal/5c96c566ab99b60c2c557711fa... I thought they were in the other comment. The migration is pretty simple now that heroku only hosts the static part of the site and the data is in Atlas.
