Low cost way of setting up Flarum?

Prosperous

You can definitely go about things that way, however Composer is the only recommended way to get your own instance of Flarum at the moment. The normal stable release will provide a way to download and upload the files as you would any other forum software.

JackWallington try https://buyshared.net/ their shared hosting has ssh and composer enabled.
i have a test installation of flarum their.

I installed it on a free hosting account here,

http://flarum.000webhostapp.com/

EgyCode

There was an error regarding the forum installation on the free webhost due to https encryption in the url, now I removed the encryption from url in config and its working great now, you may have a look its working perfect ? we hope we will have the stable software soon to use it in production websites ASAP...

All I see is a link to what I suspect is your test Flarum installation...

EgyCode

Prosperous yep ? I really hope I can transfer my website to flarum but beta can't be used for production websites plus I try to understand how it works, its 100% different from xenforo, vbulletin which I used... the most imp thing is its very lighter than both ?

Prosperous

EgyCode It CAN be, it's just not recommended yet. ?

JackWallington I've set it up on my Dreamhost shared account. They allow composer to be installed. https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/214899037-Installing-Composer-overview

luceos Could you name the hosting services?

luceos

flarumr not yet. But once they're up they will be announced on these forums.

Blueh

luceos what two hosting?

EgyCode

Prosperous mmmm to be honest I really want to use it but it still lake some important admin privileges that prevent me from taking the decision ? Flarum is agreat software, I must take a look every day on the forum here, I love the browsing over the discussions here!

Currently using free-tier Amazon AWS and S3 bucket. I have used it for 3 months now, still haven't been billed.
Great for testing. I'm sure when enough users join and start uploading data, eventually a bill will come in.

0E800 are you using the s3 bucket for uploads of pictures?

MikeJones

0E800 LInk to your site didn't work for me, said could not be reached

0E800 What are you using the S3 bucket for then?

luceos Hiya this is interesting - do you think it will definitely happen as I'm happy to wait another month or so.

I would love to start using Flarum on my site but I'm not a developer, so getting it up and running is quite daunting.

JackWallington

It will happen within the next 30 days.

Prosperous

JackWallington Hopefully I'm one of the two @luceos mentioned. ?

I don't know what Flarum have prepared but I will definitely have something up and running fairly soon. I'm just finalising a few things as we speak and getting everything in place so as to make everything as smooth as possible.

Prosperous

I think you would be the third ?

Check your gitter. I sent you a message.

Prosperous

any release dates on your hosting services yet?

sizonov_stas

webeindustry is it possible for me to get in the top five? ?

Prosperous

luceos No date finalised as of yet actually. There are quite a few things going on at the moment including buying our first property with my partner so that is taking a lot of my spare time when I'm not working (and even at times when I'm in the office actually).

I was hoping to release my project once Flarum became stable but that may not be feasible or in my best interests.
