Best open-source faucet?

[bigreddmachine]

Hi all, I am thinking about starting up my own faucet, and was wondering whether there was a good open source faucet available that anyone would recommend. Also, is this something that I could host on somewhere like DigitalOcean, or should I look into a bigger host?

I saw one for bit coin some where... but I would also like an open source faucet for alt coins.

Greedi faucet is ok https://github.com/Greedi/litecoin-faucet but it's the only one I can vouch for. It works (mostly) but you'll need to be reasonably comfortable with command line MySQL to get it working properly. The instructions are absolutely piss-poor, so expect a few headaches if you try it.

Unless your faucet is going to be the biggest thing since sliced bread, you won't need to worry about DigitalOcean boxes not being able to handle the load. Self-hosting through them is far better than most alternatives, and is a million times better than trying it with a cheap web hosting plan.

Thanks for the feedback.  If it's the biggest thing since sliced anything I'd be shocked, haha.  What is your opinion of just a simple manual faucet, maybe using google docs or something to have people fill out a form with their wallet, and then manually sending out coins once a day or something?

Well not sure on the best place to host your faucet but if you want some free credits for cloudhosting digital ocean gives away 10 bucks to test it out.
