Setup

Create a file named .env

Add TOKEN=<your bot token>

Your .env file should look something like this:

TOKEN=<Bot token>

Uptime

To keep your bot alive you need to make this repl into a webserver. The way you do that is that you import keep_alive (file included this repl) and call it keep_alive().

Now that this repl is a server, all you have to do to keep your bot up is setup something to ping the site your bot made every 5 minutes or so.

Go to uptimerobot.com and create an accout if you dont have one. After verifying your account, click "Add New Monitor".

  • For Monitor Type select "HTTP(s)"
  • In Friendly Name put the name of your bot
  • For your url, put the url of the website made for your repl.
  • Select any alert contacts you want, then click "Create Monitor" Uptime robot example

Your bot should now be good to go, with near 100% uptime.
