问题
I am looking to host a basic Websocket server.
The code I want to see running is : FastFlicker
Do you know how and where I can host this application online?
回答1:
PythonAnywhere dev here. Unfortunate we can't host websocket-based apps on our site right now. The toggle you spotted enables/disables websockets for our in-browser consoles, it's not related to running your own websocket server.
I've added an upvote for websockets to our own issue tracker, but for now you'll have to use a different service :-(

Your solution is OpenShift, even with the free plan you can host FastFlicker. Click Add Application, choose the good cartridges (Python 2.7).
Then use your gitHub repo url to get the source.
Once the application is running, you need to SSH it to change the address and the port (see this Post). To be able to ssh you need first to generate a ssh key and to add it in setting on the website
Ok, now kill all processes that uses your port. (lsof -i :8080)
Start your application and now it's working!
(It is in app-deployments/current/repo/ for me, then python FastFlicker.py &)
It is currently hosted here : ws://main-fastflicker.rhcloud.com:8000/ And to test it, you know you can use this generic client..
