@moderation Question for mods & admins out there - does anyone host their own as a sandbox/playground, and what's your architecture for doing this? I want few and invitation-only collaborators to multiple AP-social web applications that we can experiment with as mods/admins as we design and refine community proposals.Primary needs are:- Accessible outside the walls of my living room/relatively stable (eg, doesn't go out if the power does, OTOH, I'm making no uptime promises .. 1/?

@johannab @moderation the only affordable cloud hosting in Canada that isn't operated by a US company that I've found is OVH, which is what I use for my live servers and test setups.For very short term tests you can pay by the minute for their public cloud servers, for longer term you can switch to monthly, or if you need more power you can look at their VPS and then Eco Dedicated options.Bandwidth is unmetered, so you're just paying time based or monthly for the server.

    @brook @moderation Thanks! Appreciate all the new options. I know of OVH - I'm trying for now just to play at "how local can we go" to do a prototype community server for pitches/proposals to someone who might want to run a real one.If/when we build one that's meant to be more persistent and out of my hands after that, the more stable providers are definitely of interest.
