Shorsch, AlwaysDNS, and Valf Dump Links: Who Actually Controls the Free Instance Wild West?
The core exchange revolved around the sheer volume of existing curated lists providing free instances for self-hosted applications, with the original poster’s post containing over 18 resource links.
Commenters pointed to specific resources. Schorsch flagged adminforge.de. ItsAlwaysDNS recommended checking yourdevice.ch for services. Valf added ladigitale.dev for self-hosting needs. Meanwhile, claim_arguably sidestepped the content, demanding the original poster share their entire link collection.
No definitive breakthrough occurred. The field appears saturated with existing pointers; the value was less in new recommendations and more in the collation of existing, scattered URLs.
