Annoncment By Heroku click on icon tab below!
Here is what Heroku has Announced!
Heroku no longer offers a free tier as it was discontinued on November 28, 2022. Before that, Heroku had a free plan that allowed users to deploy apps with limited resources without cost.
Current Heroku Pricing (as of 2024) Hobby Plan: Starts at $5/month (Basic dynos, limited hours).
Standard & Production Plans: Higher costs for more resources and scalability.
Free Postgres & Redis Add-ons: Some free-tier add-ons are still available, but dynos (containers running your app) are no longer free.
Alternatives to Heroku with Free Tiers If you're looking for free alternatives, consider:
Railway.app – Offers free credits monthly.
Render – Free tier with limitations.
Fly.io – Free allowances for small apps.
Vercel / Netlify – Free for static & serverless apps.
Google Cloud Run / AWS Free Tier – Limited free usage.

I have established two groups for you to join, which will provide valuable advice on issues we encounter. These groups are not intended to replace the main xDrip, site but to assist with specific challenges we face in our country concerning setups and regulations

and AndroidAPS users UK
Part 1: Setting up the Github for Nightscout
For setting up Nightscout I have used a Dexcom G6 with xdrip as my uploader as well as Android APS, but I will imagine they will also work
with other devices and setups too! You do this at your own risk as my instructions are for educational purposes only and you should check with your GP or specialist or Endo, not sure how many more names I need to put here for doctors 😊 as I do not know all the worlds ways they are treated!
If you would like to follow these instructions with video then see below other wise continue step by step below
1. First Sign up for Github Acount Click Here
2. Fill in all of your account details on screen and keep them written down in a safe place to keep.
3. Setting up Github
4. After filling in your details you will then need to do a GitHub puzzle
5. After doing the puzzle you will be sent an email, so check your email for the code sent to you!
6. Now enter the code sent to you to finish the setup
7. Just fill in the rest of the details to what you want to use in my case I SELECTED all the tools needed!
8. Now click on the Cat icon to get to your main Github account.
9. Click this Link to take you to the Nightscout Main Repository make sure to open it in a new tab: https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor
10. Now fork it from Nightscout Main Repository to your own respository (in my case) thediabeticway23
11. Once you have forked it from Nightscout Repo to your own repo you should be able to go to it, to see all the files!
