@plagin makes a great point!
If you don't want to spend the $30 or your ISP or electric company aren't reliable 24/7, for free you can use a Free tier template on Amazon's AWS cloud services, then install and run Gekko out of the cloud.
After setting up your AWS Ubuntu instance(Windows options available):
1. Use the main directions here to get Gekko installed: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/...gekko.html
(For Windows: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/...ndows.html)
2. Then follow the instructions here to configure Gekko to work within the cloud and be accessible from the outside: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/...-the-cloud
2.a Those instructions will mention setting up a reverse proxy to protect your Gekko instance. You definitely want to do this. Here are instructions for installing and configuring NGINX on AWS in Ubuntu: "Setting Up NGINX and NGINX Plus as a Web Server and Reverse Proxy in AWS": https://www.nginx.com/blog/setting-up-nginx/
