Steam Idling Online?

[willow]

I know there's idle Master and other programs that you can use to idle steam games, But one of my friends uses a free online server, ( Heroku ) to idle his account. He says he uses node.js to idle but he said it was very complicated to set up does anyone know how to do this? ( the point of using the free server is so you don't have to have your computer or server running.)

this is not that hard to do as it is mostly already done by a lot of people and there are a lot of repositories on github that has the code already done, i am not sure if this is up to date;

but you would need something like it, just google around if this particularly version isn't working.

heroku needs a setup, which is also straightforward, i would recommend connecting your heroku app with the specific github repo, make it a private repo because you obviously don't want to have your credentials public available.

the thing with heroku is that you are only allowed non stop for around 3 weeks, however adding a credit card (just adding it) will allow you to run it 24/7 for a whole month meaning it will run forever.
