What is Nest? What do I get?
Nest is a free Linux hosting service provided by Hack Club for teenagers to host their apps and projects for free. You can host websites, Discord bots, really anything that doesn't go against the Acceptable Use Policy! Everyone gets 2 cores, 2 GB memory and 16 GB storage by default, you can request more here.
How can I get started?

How can i make my services run in the background?
Read our guide on Using PM2 and Using Systemd!
How can i complain about the nest admins?
Please send an email to root [at] hackclub [dot] app
Is nest down?
Stop saying nest is broken or "nest is down". You're going to need to actually say what you're having issues with. If you're using SSH, use ssh -vvv username@hackcub.app and put those logs there. If you can't access USERNAME.hackclub.app? Say that, give the (sub)domain and give logs. https://status.hackclub.app/status/nest says nest is down? We already know.
Can i host ___?
As long as it's not abusive and not against the acceptable use policy then yes.
Do i get my own IP?
You do not get your own public IPv4, but you do get a public IPv6. We have a reverse proxy which you can use to proxy your websites without needing your own dedicated IP.
Is there a limit to the number of ports that can be opened? Are any ports blocked?
65535 is the limit for ports, and port 25 is blocked to prevent malicious email spam.
Can i portscan on nest?
No, you will be banned.
Why is ID verification taking so long?
We do not know, it's not in our control. ID verification is done by HCA.
