It's great to see projects have detailed deployment instructions for getting up and running very quickly:

I've seen some projects now even have "Deploy to Heroku" buttons, which is fantastic. I wish Digital Ocean had something similar. Looks like you should be able to run this on a cheap $5 droplet?

A cheap $5 droplet can run 20 instances of this, probably.

I don't know about 20 instances. It uses up about 173MB of memory on my instance.

Yeah, probably not 20. See related comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11013579

I believe so considering this is just a client for the most part, so long as you don't have 10,000 people trying to use it all at once.

I did in fact run this on a cheap $5 droplet, along with an apache2 server. Worked fine except it crashes about once a week, I think due to memory usage. I switched to weechat in a tmux session
