Running Factorio Server on DockHive
Smallest size
Factorio Server 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.
Runs in the background
Factorio Server has no web page of its own. It runs in the background in its HivePod, where you can open a terminal and read its logs.
Set up at install
The install form asks for 2 settings before Factorio Server starts, such as the details you sign in with. Everything else, including passwords other services need, is generated for you.
Your data and backups
Factorio Server'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.
