You could start the short lived Javascript scripts via a dozen other ways, but not PHP shell. Unfortunately for the world Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little decided to use PHP to write Wordpress so bots are constantly looking for idiots dumb enough to install Wordpress. If we enable popen(), exec(), shell_exec() etc in PHP it will just make it even easier for hackers to send spam and set up phishing sites on our servers.

Just to summarize, the bottom line is I can't run shot-lived JavaScript via PHP. But I can run dedicated node+express (app.js) on dedicated port (ex:3000) 24/7, which will use memory and CPU and may hit the daily limit, is that right?

Tommy, the server you're on currently, has Python 3.9 and Python 3.12. If you upgrade to Morty https://heliohost.org/dashboard/move/ Python 3.14 is available as well.

I know it can be done with PHP/perl, I stopped coding in PHP/Perl for more than a decade now. I wanted to use JS tech stack to demonstrate for the workshop that I conduct, And I have many light-weight JS APIs, that don't want rewrite in PHP/Perl/Python now. BTW, what version of python is available? I prefer to use 3.12+ --- const sleep = (ms) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms)); const randomCPU = () => parseFloat((Math.random() * 100).toFixed(1)); const randomStatus = (cpu) => cpu > 80 ? "warning" : "healthy"; export default async function* serve(request) { let length = parseInt(request.query_string?._length || 10, 10); if (isNaN(length) || length < 1) length = 1; if (length > 100) length = 100; for (let i = 1; i <= length; i++) { await sleep(100); const cpu = randomCPU(); yield { chunk_id: i, event: "telemetry_pulse", timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), metrics: { cpu_utilization: cpu, memory_free_bytes: Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000) + 10000000, status: randomStatus(cpu) }, engine: "ES Modules (.mjs)" }; } } Just FYR. This JS generates max 100 dynamic streaming records, which will be consumed in browser UI to plot a graph or table or list...

You could just use CGI or PHP. Can you give an example of the json payload you want it to send, and where you want it to be sent to?

I've added those domains to your account for you. Please note that it may take up to 2 hours for the domain changes to take effect, and they will not work until you set up your DNS with your domain registrar. To configure your DNS, please either set your NS records to the HelioHost nameservers (ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org), or create A/AAAA records and point them to your server's IPv4/IPv6 address. You can see the IP addresses inside Plesk. If after a full 2 hours they don't work on your side, please make sure you clear your web browser cache.

can i have a domain in this list bkmsdev.in.th and store.bkmsdev.in.th and fivem.bkmsdev.in.th and license.bkmsdev.in.th to my hosting please my username bkmsdeveloper

I want to generate some mock data for my demo/workshop using node (javascipt) json. I don't want to run a dedicated node+express server wasting server resources like memory/cpu. These mock api calls will be called only during a workshop/demo otherwise there is no need of this service. So I have written a simple javascript to generate random json payload based on the request type. that I want to execute through simple php-node.php router where I will use shell_exec to run the node script on demand and it ends the request. Want to keep it simple and efficient on-demand execution instead of running a service forever on a different port. that causes CORS issue as well. Do you have a better alternate solution?

PHP functions such as proc_open(), exec(), popen(), etc. are disabled on our shared hosting servers for security reasons. If you need these, you will need to get a VPS. Can you provide more details about why you want to run these per-request scripts, and what you hope to accomplish with them? This will help us determine if there's an alternative method you can use that would be permitted on the shared hosting servers.

Thanks for the info. This helps to some extent. I don't want run node app as service on any dedicated port. I want to execute a short-lived javascript like node getuser.js under (php shell_exec / popen) but I see my php configuration: disable_functions:opcache_get_status,exec,passthru,proc_nice,proc_open,shell_exec,system,popen,pcntl_exec I don't want to run any service forever, just use node based code to run per request and exit. How can I do that? Thanks in advance.

You can view how much space (out of the 1000 MB) is being used by checking inside Plesk > Statistics from the left side menu. Please note: Plesk doesn't recalculate in real time, so there's a delay between uploading and the statistics reflecting what's in your account. Node versions available on the Tommy server are: 23, 22, 21, 20, 18, 16. You can view them by logging into Plesk and going to: Websites & Domains > Get Started > Node.js button > Click on the Node.js Version value to view other versions of node available. A word of caution about Node: Node apps often require a lot of server resources, and exceeding the account load limits will cause your user account to be suspended for high server usage. You can keep an eye on your account load here: https://heliohost.org/dashboard/load/ I'll escalate this thread to the root admins for your OS-related questions.

I wanted to know the details of the server, installed software version, disk space usage in my space, etc. like uname -os ldd --version python --version node -v du -sh * du -sh .[^.]*

Hello! On hosting accounts, secure shell access (SSH) is disabled for security reasons. However, it is possible to run jailed shell commands using Plesk's Scheduled Tasks (cron jobs) feature. In many cases, SSH is not actually necessary. If you let us know what command you want to run, and we'll be happy to investigate other ways to accomplish the same task without SSH. If you absolutely require SSH access, you will need a VPS. We offer a range of VPS plans, and a 10% discount when you pay for 6 months upfront. You can view the VPS plans we offer here: https://heliohost.org/vps/

Hi, I just signed up for hosting and checking for SSH Terminal access, but the dashboard shows it is forbidden. How to enable? Thanks Kumar

I've reset your account as requested. You should receive an email shortly so you can take the next steps to recreate it. I made a backup before the reset, so if you discover you need any of your old files, you can download the backup here: https://heliohost.org/backup If you're not sure how to extract the backup files, please let us know which Operating System you use, and we can send you the specific steps you'll need. Thanks!

Hello, I would like to reset my account, username :sloooth domain: sloooth.helioho.st Thank you.

While we're working to unblock you, here are the steps (copied from the Wiki) to add more funds to your Morty account: Adding Funds to Morty Account To add funds to your Morty account, go to https://heliohost.org/donate/ and type in the amount (at least $5 or more) that you want to add. Once the transaction is complete, provide: Your account username The Transaction ID Once an admin confirms the transaction, the funds will be added to your Morty account balance, and they'll update the thread to let you know. The ability to add funds to your Morty account will eventually be built into the account dashboard, but there is no ETA for when this will be completed. Once this feature is available, it will be announced in the HelioNet News section, as well as elsewhere on our site and our social media.

Krydos can unblock this for you.

I've added that domain for you, it'll take effect in about two hours. If you don't want to use HelioHost's nameservers, then create an A record and/or an AAAA record to Tommy's IP (which you can find by logging in to Plesk and scrolling to the bottom).

Please see the attached screenshot below.

There isn’t anything to enable. These just work. The wiki is blocked for almost all users right now though due to bot abuse, so if you’re clicking those buttons in Plesk to try and see the documentation on how to use it, you’re probably seeing a block page. what IP address is showing on that page so we can get it unblocked for you?
