Hosting on Deno Deploy

I'm hosting my bot on Deno Deploy https://deno.com/deploy it's working great but after some time it goes offline. I tried:

client.on('disconnect', () =>
{
    console.log('Bot is disconnected, attempting to reconnect...');
    client.login('...').catch(console.error);
});


client.login('...');

client.on('disconnect', () =>
{
    console.log('Bot is disconnected, attempting to reconnect...');
    client.login('...').catch(console.error);
});


client.login('...');

but the 'disconnect' event is not getting fired. What else could i try to make it keep online?

thats because there is no disconnect event

goes idle after some time if it dont receive any request, and it makes the bot goes off as long i ping the server the discord bot get on again

function startInterval() 
{
    setInterval(async () =>
    {
        discord.users.fetch('390180464393977857').then(user =>
        {
            user.send('ping')
                .then(() => console.log(`Sent a message to ${ user.tag }`))
                .catch(console.error);
        }).catch(console.error);
    }, 5 * 60 * 1000); // every 5 minutes
}
startInterval();

function startInterval() 
{
    setInterval(async () =>
    {
        discord.users.fetch('390180464393977857').then(user =>
        {
            user.send('ping')
                .then(() => console.log(`Sent a message to ${ user.tag }`))
                .catch(console.error);
        }).catch(console.error);
    }, 5 * 60 * 1000); // every 5 minutes
}
startInterval();

ill try this to see if it keep the bot on

Serverless architecture is not designed for this though

ThePedroo•5mo ago

And that's not 5m

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

also pretty sure this would set off some sort of alarm that a bot is sending a message to the same user every so often

Cesar•5mo ago

i was testing the timer, forgot to modify it back to 60

monbrey•5mo ago

big yikes here

Cesar•5mo ago

5 min is not so often and i need to check how long it takes to make the server goes idle i think its 10min+

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

If you need to keep the host from shutting off your application, then its not a good host for a discord bot

Cesar•5mo ago

im also hosting a mongodb together it

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

Invest in proper hosting, either by paying for the service or using a reputable services free tier, like oracle and amazon

Cesar•5mo ago

im already using deno for other things

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

If you want to keep using deno, thats your choice Deno deploy is really only meant for HTTP only interaction bots, not for full standing bots

Cesar•5mo ago

that message thing discord send "only you can see" something like this isnt possible to create messages like that?

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

Those are interactions, and yes it is possible to respond to interactions that only the person that sent the command can see

Cesar•5mo ago

by sending a dm?

Cesar•5mo ago

Cesar•5mo ago

i mean this

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

you can have DM slash commands, yes. Those are ephemeral responses, meaning only the person that sent the command can see it.

Cesar•5mo ago

yes do you have any link to this api?

d.js docs•5mo ago

Suggestion for @Cesar: guide

Slash Commands: Command response methods - Ephemeral responses read more

Cesar•5mo ago

is possible to hide this?

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

For interaction commands, no

Cesar•5mo ago

i mean, make a command stealth im lf something that user can interact with the bot privately theres any other option than dming the bot?

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

Ephemeral replies will hide the original message from everyone. If you want it to respond publicly without the command, you can use <interaction>.followUp()

Cesar•5mo ago

this would still be visible dont it?

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

No, it will be tagged to the original interaction reply

Cesar•5mo ago

ive no idea whats this, ill search

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

youll see this if you use followUp() after using reply()

Cesar•5mo ago

is it also possible to create commands where user can input data?

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

Yes, its called command options

d.js docs•5mo ago

Cesar•5mo ago

do you have any pic about how it looks

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

about what?

Cesar•5mo ago

input command

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

thats how options look

Cesar•5mo ago

cool the server went offline even the bot pinging the user

Kevinnnn•5mo ago

As I said earlier, deno deploy is not meant for discord bots that use full fledged packages like discord.js It is meant for HTTP Interaction bots, meaning discord sends you requests via an API you created and you respond back to the API request from discord.js

Cesar•5mo ago

i see i figured out how to use the ephemeral thing really cool thanks for the help Kevin
