What is the best place to get cheap or free hosting for the SAAS template to try an idea I have?

I’d say Fly as Wasp has magical one line deployment command, but personally never used it, I am more of a Railway kind of fella

Deploying | Wasp
Wasp is in beta, so keep in mind there might be some kinks / bugs, and possibly a bit bigger changes in the future.
I saw how simple it is to deploy, just wondering where I should deploy it to test an idea that I have.
Simplicity of deployment depends on the place where you are deploying. It’s not that simple to go live to Railway, for example, that’s why it’s not my initial recommendation though it’s my preference
So if you want simple - go with what is recommended
Ok, thanks
agreed 100% with @IamIconLiving 🎄 🙂 Fly is currently the easiest option, plus it's also free, so great to test your MVP.
Btw would love to see what you're building, feel free to share in #🏠made-with-wasp , and maybe we can also help send some traffic/users your way 🙂
I used fly, but at the shell when I type "wasp deploy fly launch my-wasp-app mia" I get "bash: wasp: command not found"
It has been a minute since I dealt with linux command line.
Wohooo @TroyIM, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!
aha seems like either you haven't installed wasp binary/exe or it isn't in your path
what happens when run "curl" cmd as specified here in your terminal? https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/quick-start
Quick Start | Wasp
Installation
after the installation is done you might get a prompt saying sth like "Wasp is not in your PATH - make sure to copy this in your .bashrc" -> that will explain your cli to always be able to run wasp globally, no matter where you are located in your terminal
let us know how it goes, happy to provide more detailed info 🙂
@TroyIM which shell? Have you ever ran wasp project successfully?
You do need to install wasp on your local machine and use it. If you are on Linux or OSX it is super easy, while on Windows you need to use WSL but taht should also be quite easy
Curl worked correctly, I do get the message about the PATH after installation. I tried copying the path it told me, but that didn't work. This is my path in the .bashrc, the first is what they told me to put:
#export PATH=$PATH:/root/.local/bin/
export PATH="/root/.local/bin/wasp:$PATH"
The first one should work all right! Have you made sure to reload/refresh the terminal after adding it to .bashrc? What is your setup - which OS, are you running it normally or inside some VM or Docker? Anything unusual?
Try maybe ‘which wasp’ and verify the path and make sure it’s correctly set in rc file
(I am on the phone so might not follow correctly the convo, sorry about that)
I had to reload the terminal, it is working now.
hah ok, well great it is nothing more complex :D. I do think we warn to reload the terminal but I can't remember for sure, probably it is not easy to see among all the output.
