Hi @Osama_Alwaly, welcome!

Since your bot runs on a Messenger webhook, the key thing is an always-on host. Many free tiers sleep when idle, which silently breaks incoming webhooks, and that’s usually why the Render and Railway free plans fall short here.

The best genuinely free, always-on option is Oracle Cloud’s Always Free tier. You get an Ampere ARM VM that runs 24/7 at no cost, and you run n8n on it with Docker exactly like you do locally.

Two caveats: the free ARM instances can be hard to grab when capacity is tight, and since it’s a full VM you handle the HTTPS reverse proxy yourself. If you’d rather pay a little for simplicity later, Hetzner is a few euros a month and very reliable.

Even if you do get it, you will still need to hit certain minimum RAM and CPU usage. Otherwise, you will get “evicted”

You can use cloudflared
