Actor Internal Web Server
I came across https://docs.apify.com/academy/running-a-web-server about running a web server inside an actor.
my question is
1. is the web server have timeout. what happen when we forgot to abort the actor, does the web server will run indefinitely, or it will shutdown it self.
2. how much it cost for running the web server, for example for 1 day.
that s all. thank You

Hello @!!!Joefree!!! 👑 ,
1. The webserver doesn't have a timeout, but the whole actor does, you may setup based on your needs (in seconds), or you may set it to 0, to run infinitelly.
2. It is the same price as for actor. If you are not using proxies, then the most of the price should be for compute units, these are calculated based on configured resources for the actor (1 GB memory x 1 hour = 1 compute unit).
You may find the price for compute unit (CU) here based on your plan https://apify.com/pricing .
