How long did it take you until it was successful?
Nice job btw I originally forked but made private because I didn’t want to use secrets.

I plan on having docker containers run so it won’t ever really be idle. That would stop the 7 day thing?

no clue. But if you do the pay as you go plan and select all settings that keep it free it’ll stay free forever without any worries at all them closingit. You’ll also be able to get 1 first try without needing scripts.

> major update. I upgraded to pay as you go plan and created the exact same plan which should still be free as its within the free limit regardless of account type but since i’m a payg costumer i have normal priority and created no problem easily. Just created it. Will update if i get unexpected charges or other issues. if this works its great! Free 4cpu’s 24gb ram with 200gb storage.
Is this completely free?

If you choose all the right free options yes

Yeah. It’s great. If you’re really paranoid (like I am), there’s a way to set the billing rules that if you spend over $0.01 per month it emails you and doesn’t let any actions run that would bill you

Yeah forgot to mention that. I did do that which was worth it as I discovered that you shouldn’t actually take full 200gb storage because besides the shopping if storage you take, you also get for the os itself which is included in the max 200gb for free…
