Hosting App online #17

Thank you very much for your recognition. As I don't have a credit card, I can only deploy my demo on cloud service providers that offer free trial. Vercel is used to deploy the UI and Railway is used to deploy the backend service (which does not support file persistence). This is also why user uploads are not supported in the demo. If you want to apply it to a production environment, you will need a server or any cloud service provider that supports Docker compose to run this application. How to use Docker to run the application has been explained in README. |

@3Alan Is there anything I need to do to the .env file or anything? |

I currently don't have any good recommendations for free trial cloud service providers. Railway cannot persist data because the project does not include a database and all data is saved locally. Therefore, once you redeploy, the files you previously uploaded will be destroyed. Currently, the only option is to use Docker to deploy the application to your private VPS. |

Hey @3Alan , Great work. You definitely deserve that coffee on me, I would love to contribute so you can keep your hard work.
Can you please update the readme for step-by-step process on hosting this app online. Its quite confusing. If you could provide clearer instructions that would be awesome. Im trying to host this app for my high school to use and would like to give them a simple url for students to access and use.
PS: Im working on hooking this up with Google Drive folder so users can search their existing documents on Drive.
