!!!this is not the relay needed for METAVERSE-GUN by default; look for https://github.com/worldpeaceenginelabs/METAVERSE-GUN-RELAY instead!!!
Combine with https://github.com/worldpeaceenginelabs/DONATE-DECENTRALIZE-UI to offer your fanbase, gun relay donations to your website/app.
- npm install
- add your peers in server.js
- npm exec electron-packager . (the dot means "in the actual folder", without further arguments electron-packager compiles for the actual OS you are using to compile)
Make your desktop gun server available from the outside (centralized way, for development, fallback or scaling eventually)

To make your relay available on the internet, register for a free account on noip.com, download the client(all os available), then just start the electron gun in a console or run the compiled electron exe file. My clients have an entry peers: https://...relay.ddns.net which connects to my electron gun on my notebook. (works great for testing everything out online)
cool thing: not much to change on your code for production. you just add more desktop or hosted relays and add them with commas to peers like peers: address.com, address2.com
You can use it to collect data 24/7 with your desktop relay from a subscribe form, or customer/user chat, or whichever datasource, which is on your static website on a CDN.
Without the need for any DynDNS service or centralized back-ends! Without the need to stay 24/7 online with your desktop!
!!!Heroku becomes unnecessary or fallback if you use Decentralized-STUN-Service. But this concept is for showing how to decentralize your back-end with gun for something simple like <input>!!!
Run your own IP Lookup server (or multiple) if you like https://github.com/mpolden/echoip
A simple service for looking up your IP address. This is the code that powers https://ifconfig.co/
Gun + Public IP Version
Gun + Public IP + Decentralized File Version
Peer-CDN https://rafallorenz.com/peer-cdn/docs/installation.html
Serve your website/apps build files from your gun nodes and peers.
The source-code of your website/app in this example comes from the desktop relay, but can come from anywhere you like.
A Gun based email server on your desktop. by by classic email provider! (take a look on Cloudflare Email Routing https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-routing/ to improve further)
