Setup one for yourself:

Fork and clone to your machine. Make the necessary changes. If you want a better format (such as JSON) do raise a pull request.

Deploy to cloud service

I have chosen AWS EC2 (Ubuntu 20, t2.micro), but feel free to choose any.

• Install apache2 (httpd) and follow the instructions
• Clone repo to /var/www/html/ you should now be able to access it over the public IP over http port 80
• Register an Elastic IP to ensure virtual IP stays constant

Link to Domain Name

• Purchase a domain via sites like GoDaddy
• Within 'Manage DNS' point A record to the Elastic IP
• For enabling traffic over https SSL certificate is needed for certificate handshake. For more info read about SSL/TLS Handshake
• Use Certbot to quikly add these certificates
• Voila!

Hints and suggestions

• Make sure to enable all traffic over http and https in security groups
• For using AWS DNS
