Deployment

For now, i'm just testing it in my local computer. I have test to deploy and run in Repl.it and pytonanywhere but this project doesn't work. Because they're doesn't support websocket server.

On Heroku? My mind that doesn't work too. because Heroku doesn't support persistant storage. This project use SQLite for manage data like chat histories and users data.

Maybe you can deploy this project with your own VPS server. Just run the project in background service using PM2 and reverse the port using NGINX to your domain.
