I just discovered Ackee Analytics and I like it a lot, visuals, mission, and specially the privacy it gives in comparison to google, I'm a frontend developer, student, it's my first time dealing with backend, tried the installation guides and failed miserably. 😅
I think it would be a nice enhacement to be able to fast deploy Ackee on other services for folks like me. There aren't many simple free alternatives to host Ackee besides heroku (the button don't work anymore at this date 01/09/2020), the mongodb addon needs credit card and it seems that it will be discontinued in November 10, 2020...
Here are some FREE with limits services that I think (correct me if I'm wrong) it can run Ackee:
They have a fast deploy button, it's a kubernetes platform, also support helm charts and a lot of databases, including mongo, maria, postgre and others. It sleeps in 24 hours after no activity.

Dockers images, but they have their own commands, we get $10 every month to use on their services, seems like they deploy the apps in multiple servers, basically a CDN, they have something called turboku, a way to connect heroku apps, more info here: https://fly.io/heroku
Regular hosting with 100 MB of space, they have nodeJS, yarn, mongodb and others, I guess we can run Ackee but the space is too little, I assume... But I think we can use Atlas just for the database. (I couldn't figure out how to do the connection too. 😞)
They have a free tier for developers, community projects and small stuff, I don't think it sleeps or anything like this but it's full CLI, the docs teach how to deploy with Git and Docker, also support databases like MongoDB, Postgre, etc. Seems like a good place for hosting Ackee, if anyone make it work, please comment.
Making Ackee work on Kintohub is easy (even for me. 😅), supports linking to git and even regular https for public and private repos, dockers, databases, it seems perfect but... Ackee doesn't seem to deploy with 256mb of memory, that's the free plan offer, if you upgrade to the pay-as-you-go (needs credit/debit card) you get $10 every month for free to use on their services, but you will get billed if you use more than $10, the credit card unlinking is also hard (I'm still trying and no response to this date yet). So, if you can control your expenses and maintain under $10, it's free.
I would volunter myself to make the guides, but I just don't know how to setup everything. Any help is appreciated, also tell me what you think or if you use other (preferebly free) services.
