Running Booksonic on DockHive
Smallest size
Booksonic needs at least a Micro HivePod (about $2 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing.
Its own HTTPS address
Booksonic gets its own HTTPS address as soon as it's running. You can also serve it on your own domain: add the domain to the pod and the certificate is issued automatically.
Set up at install
The install form asks for one setting before Booksonic starts. Everything else, including passwords other services need, is generated for you.
Your data and backups
Booksonic's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
