Hi @Colin_Beckworth_74! We're glad you're here. When you get a chance, please introduce yourself on this forum thread. I'd also encourage you to add a real picture as your avatar because it helps build community! Did you just look at Aggregate installation options or have you checked out ODK Central on Digital Ocean? The goal with Central is to create a modern sibling to Aggregate that is easier to install, easier to use, and more extensible with new features and functionality. More on Central in this post:
I would always rather see users able to depend on the core ODK ecosystem. But another option would be to use UN OCHA's https://www.kobotoolbox.org/ servers. The code for their software is built on ODK source code. They provide unlimited usage accounts for humanitarian organizations, and slightly limited accounts for researchers, aid workers & everyone else. Note that this forum can't provide technical support on KoBo issues.
