   What's the easiest way to run an always-on python Mastodon bot? Could I host it on GitLab CI/CD? Noob question.

     @stillgreenmoss yeah, my lab has a Cloudron system on DigitalOcean and I could always spin up something there. But trying to find the simplest possible thing.

     @ntnsndr and if trying to avoid dependence on major clouds and their specific products, then probably docker+sqlite on a VM

     @ntnsndr so to answer more directly, imo if not trying to avoid dependence on major clouds then some container/app/functions as a service + that cloud's in-house nosql db is probably the easiest, where easiest is considered over the entire life of the application to include ongoing maintenance.

     @ntnsndr Fly/Render/Railway as PaaS platforms that tend to be fastest from code -> running service.

     If you package it up as a Docker image you could make it Cloudron custom app compatible ;)

     I haven’t forgotten about the Cloudron survey BTW! Using a Cloudron hosted Airtable clone NocoDB to build the survey form 😅
