It is windows only framework ?? Why so ?
Yeah, but you can develop your webapp under Linux in Lazarus and once you compile it you can run the webapp server through WINE.
I did it on Oracle Free Tier VPS (1GB RAM, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, console only, no desktop) and it works perfectly 
There is D2Docker also, but I didn't touched it yet.
Hello, can you explain how do it?

Yeah, it's a bit tricky (Oracle Console
)
So, first of all you need to create account on Oracle Free Tier. Then setup your first VPS - Open side menu (left top corner) - Compute -> Instances -> Create Instance
I choose Canonical Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Then create and save SSH key files (you need it to connect to your VPS through bash console).
Then create Security list - Compute - Instances -> YOUR INSTANCE -> Networking -> Subnet -> Security -> YOUR SECURITY LIST -> Security Rules -> Add Ingress Rules:
Source type: CIDR
Source CIDR: 0.0.0.0/0
IP Protocol: TCP
Source Port Range: Empty
Destination Port Range: 8888 (Your D2Bridge Web App Port - Default is 8888)
Once you done it log in to your VPS through the terminal:
ssh -i /home/YOUR_USER/YOUR_NEW_VPS_SSH_KEY_DIR/KEY_NAME_prv.key ubuntu@YOUR_VPS_PUBLIC_IP (Compute->Instances->Public IP)
ex. ssh -i /home/kompustelnik/Documents/MyOracleVPS_prv.key ubuntu@127.0.0.1
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
then you have to install wine:
sudo apt install wine
sudo apt install wine32
Copy your D2Bridge Project (Web Folder) with all files.
ex. scp -i /home/kompustelnik/Documents/MyOracleVPS_prv.key -r Web ubuntu@127.0.0.1/home/ubuntu/Web
(Specify your ssh key and your VPS IP)
Last thing you have to do is to run your web app through wine.
Log in to your VPS through terminal:
ex. ssh -i /home/kompustelnik/Documents/MyOracleVPS_prv.key ubuntu@127.0.0.1
(Specify your ssh key and your VPS IP)
cd Web
wine YOUR_WEB_APP_NAME.exe
That's all.....
Try to connect from your phone/laptop, put in your browser address "YOUR_INSTANCE_PUBLIC_IP:8888"
I know, the instance configuration on Oracle Free Tier may be a bit confusing, but it's not impossible (I'm a gamedev hobbyist, not engineer
), I believe you'll succeed.
Forgive me my "perfect" english

PS.
I made an
Online Score server in Lazarus (server web app) for my game made with Godot.
It stores players scores in SQLite db. Communication over REST API.
The game server web app is running on my Oracle VPS too (autorun through systemd).
Please give me your feedback about the game:
https://woofitgames.itch.io/solar-landerIt's free to play, but you can donate if you have fun or you feel my "tutorial" about D2Bridge + VPS was helpful in any case...
PS2. The game is only for hardcore players, the controls are intentionally difficult, but manageable. I’ve completed this little game many times.
