Hey i have this doubt that if i close my docker my flutter apps wont work what cab i do to keep appwrite running?And is it paid? #appwrite

TL;DR
To keep Appwrite running, you need to have a server running it. You can rent a server from providers like DigitalOcean or Vultr for around $10/month. Alternatively, you can wait for Appwrite Cloud to be released, where you can pay Appwrite directly for a server and they will handle maintenance. Appwrite is free and open source, but running it on a server requires a payment. If you close Docker, your Flutter apps won't work with Appwrite.

Hi πŸ‘‹ , Our advice would be to keep the server running and/or use Appwrite Cloud when it is released, you can try joining out beta program here https://appwrite.io/cloud. Talking about paid/free, the Cloud will have a generous free tier but paid ones too.

Hey there πŸ‘‹ Appwrite is free and open source. That means, there is no fee that you pay to us.

Sadly, every backend requires a server to run on. You can buy such a server from DigitalOcean, Vultr, ... There are many, and such a server renting costs around 10$/month.

I am saying that because Appwrite is backend and that means it must run on a server. So if you plan to run Appwrite on production, you will have to rent such a server. (your PC is replacing the server when in development mode).

As Jyoti mentioned, we try to make this even easier, and provide Appwrite Cloud. That would mean that we have a HUUUUUGE server and we take care of it. That way you would pay directly us and you don't need to worry about maintaining your own server. Of course, fully optional.
