Running Campfire on DockHive
Smallest size
Campfire 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
Campfire 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 3 settings before Campfire starts, such as the details you sign in with. Everything else, including passwords other services need, is generated for you.
Your data and backups
Campfire'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.
