Yeah, as soon as Heroku started charging I set up my own server. I used the instruction in the link that was posted, but I did the (or without) with nodejs and npm.
I had a PI3 laying around already, so I downloaded the Rasberry PI imager app for Windows, and the image, and wrote the card. Booted up the PI, let it do the updates, then I just copy-pasted the commands from the instructions. It is easiest to ssh to the pi to copy-paste the commands, or bring up the instructions in the browser on the PI to copy paste.
Then I setup the Echo Speaks server on Hubitat as instructed. So it isn't too bad, but if the cookie server could run on the hub, it would be much better.
