I have an app (http://mimiaka.meteor.com) in meteor.com.
It had been working well yesterday and is working well in local environment but today my app suddenly shows
METEOR
This site is loading.
Retrying in X seconds.
What is happening and how can I run my app correctly?
Your app works well. Since it is hosted on Meteor servers (provided for free by Meteor Development Group), your app will be shut down after several minutes of inactivity. If you open your website and you see this “your website is loading” message, just refresh the page after a couple of seconds, Meteor hosting is starting your app after the shut down.
hi, that’s understandable that on free servers are apps stopped after some period of inactivity. But when I try to reach my app, it sometimes takes more that hour than app is up again. Is there any way how to check that app is starting or not? Or another way how to wake it up?
Probably I’m impatien. Logs say Server started, then loading of favicon every few seconds, but page is still not available after more than 15 minutes.
In the meantime, you can get a $5 /month hosting plan at digital ocean and deploy using meteor-up. Once set up it is pretty much as easy as meteor deploy.
