did you read #how-to-get-help?
did you try following the instructions in the README?
raven yarrow
did you read <#740267971422715989>?
Oh, sorry
raven yarrow
did you try following the instructions in the README?
I did but I have no clue how to do coding, and my computer is like unable to run that stuff (chromebook)
I was trying to find somebody that could run it for me or help me run it
gritty schooner
I was trying to find somebody that could run it for me or help me run it
that's really not what this server is for
gritty schooner
this server, as with all community support servers, is for helping you with your stuff, not doing your stuff for you
gritty schooner
the problem here is that we can't help with something we don't really know about

How To Get Better Help
• Explain what you want to happen and why…
• …and what actually happens, and your best guess at why.
• Include a short code sample and any error messages you got.
so far, what i know is
- you're trying to run existing, public code
- it's not working
not a lot for me to go off of there
raven yarrow
Do you want me to provide the link?
Well
Basically I'm trying to self-host but I have no idea to code so I was wondering if someone to help
gritty schooner
yeah, plenty of people can help here
but we need to know a problem before we can help with it
right now you're not telling us what the problem is
raven yarrow
right now you're not telling us what the problem is
Oh
I just have no idea how to code
Like, how do I run it
I'm trying to run it without a VPS
gritty schooner
the README should tell you?
"no idea how to code" literally doesn't tell me anything
raven yarrow
"no idea how to code" literally doesn't tell me anything
Like
So all the coding and stuff is there but
Is there a way to run it without VPS?
Do you want me to show you the link
gritty schooner
Is there a way to run it without VPS?
yes, literally just running it
gritty schooner
Do you want me to show you the link
sure, we're not making any progress here...
raven yarrow
yes, literally just running it
How do you do that 
raven yarrow
https://github.com/HasangerGames/suroi?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-and-setup
Yeah
Oh wait
But I'm using the self-hosting
Like I want to make my own website
Its for a league server I have
gritty schooner
and do you want it to be routed through your own computer or through a proper server?
raven yarrow
and do you want it to be routed through your own computer or through a proper se...
My own computer would be fine
Is that possible?
Because I don't have a server so..
gritty viper
"Installation and setup" is the steps to take to run the program
"Self‐hosting" describes what to do on top of that, for the server to be accessible for other ppl
you need to do both
gritty schooner
yes, just do what the wiki says just skipping over the parts about putting it on a vps
gritty schooner
Because I don't have a server so..
that's what vps's are
raven yarrow
yes, just do what the wiki says just skipping over the parts about putting it on...
Ok wait let me see
gritty schooner
google, amazon, etc sell those services
raven yarrow
So where do I start?
gritty schooner
...as the wiki says?
gritty viper
that's what vps's are
Chromebooks can also be unlocked to access the "Linux development environment"
gritty viper
I'm on chromebook rn so
[...] make sure you have the correct tools for the job. Hosting a dedicated Suroi server requires two things:
- SSH access to a VPS (or some other form of dedicated hosting)
You can find cheap VPS hosts at Linode, A2 Hosting, or Vultr.
raven yarrow
Is there a way to do it without the VPS?
gritty viper
yes, but harder
gritty viper
Is there a way to do it without the VPS?
if you want to run a program 24/7, you need a machine (computer) to run 24/7
either your Chromebook or a machine you rent (VPS)
gritty viper
raven yarrow
Can I just kepe it running at certain times on my computer?
gritty viper
but as Tat_Guy said, this probably isn't the best place to ask for those kinds of things
gritty viper
Can I just kepe it running at certain times on my computer?
yes, it's just a program, like any other program on a computer
raven yarrow
Okay
