Bot is offline and does not respond for 3+ days (issue closed) #3

Closed UnconsciousPebble closed 1 year ago

UnconsciousPebble commented 1 year ago

Bot is offline and does not respond for 3+ days. Is it a temporal problem that will be fixed soon (then I'll just wait), or something more serious that won't be fixed in the foreseeable future, or you decided to stop hosting the bot (then I will try to host it myself)? Thanks for your response

if they have decided to stop hosting the bot then maybe i should self host too (i also previously wrote here becuase the bot was doing nothing)

If they really stopped, it would be great if someone at least compiled and wrote a noob's guide on how to host it, because I'm struggling a lot with that right now...

I agree! I have no idea how to even get started

UnconsciousPebble commented 1 year ago

Never mind, it's back up again (almost got it running, just got stuck on a command registration error).

Like I mentioned #2 here, it's running on free tier right now and it's up only about 20 days each month. I have plans to host it properly and add some new features like web interface later on but I don't have much time at the moment

That's ok, but could you perhaps spread the timeout more evenly, so that there are not more than 1-2 days of downtime at a time?

I would like to host this bot myself, i would appreciate if someone could give me some sort of instructions, Couldnt get it to work. I'am completely new to stuff like this.

Even a short explanation how to host it on railway myself would be great

I tried compiling and running it, but it keeps failing... a short rough guideline on hosting for noobs like us would sure be very appreciated @jjablonski-it @Gamesolic
