i saw a couple of questions re: long-running containers (e.g. a Discord bot), is that a use case that CF containers support? it seems like this could be hacked together with a cron acting as a keepalive and a long value for
sleepAfter, but are there other limitations to be aware of?2 Replies
Hey, so its a valid use case, with the caveat that we might kill the container at random times 😅
How long running do you need?
With a long sleepAfter, we'll just allow it to run
but we sometimes need to cycle machines, in which case we'll send a SIGTERM, then allow 15 min before a SIGKILL and hard stop
so if you can gracefully retry and handle those retries, then I think its valid
just know this might be an issue
for a discord bot given their interface we’d need it to run “forever” - helpful context, thanks!
