Hi everybody. As you know, heroku will not be free anymore… so sad, it permit to launch my app.ipynb with more speed than mybinder do… because don’t have to deploy any time…
I have heard of other free plateform to deploy apps : render.app, cyclic… , but wich ones can function with voila ?
What about the Procfile needed on heroku to start voila… how it works with others platform ?
Thanks for your helps.
David
Indeed, this change to the default Heroku plan will make it a bit more difficult to deploy Voila apps easily.
Not sure there is a good alternative as of today except Binder.
If someone finds something it would be great to add it to the Voila documentation: Deploying Voilà — voila 0.4.0b0 documentation
Hi, Thanks for your answer,
Finaly, I tested the platform : Render.com
In the “starting command” of Render’s setting, I didn’t write like the
Heroku’s Procfile ( web: voila --port=$PORT --no-browser --Voila.ip=0.0.0.0 App.ipynb ) ;
I just write : voila --port=$PORT --no-browser --Voila.ip=0.0.0.0 App.ipynb
And it works !..
I think it’s just slower than Heroku… But it’s free.
Hope this could help others.
A+, David de Reims.

Nice thanks for sharing this.
The limitations for their free services look similar to the ones Heroku had before: Deploy for Free | Render Docs
This is now tracked in Document deploying Voila to Render.com · Issue #1230 · voila-dashboards/voila · GitHub.
