I've created a Deno project, with associated Dockerfile, and deployments via CLI, the docker file effectively calls the main script, and the script executes once, and isn't continuously running (it's not a meant to be a web server, just a task). I have set them to "server less" mode.
I noticed that the "redis" service actually flips to "deployment slept", but I never see this for my services.
I have two questions, one is:
despite the UI are my services actually going to sleep or are they not? Have I configured my scripts/dockerfile in such a way that they're stuck running?
what I'm actually trying to do, is run a collection of scripts once a day, but they need to be in isolated services as they are prone to crashing.
I have maybe 4 scripts in total I run from my machine daily that I'm trying to migrate into the cloud. Is there a better way to do this?
I also don't know how to trigger these services once they're deployed. I'm comfortable with running them as a web server, but I'm curious as to whether I'm overlooking something and going about this the wrong way.
Here is the Dockerfile example:
```
# Use Deno base image
FROM denoland/deno:2.5.4
# Install git and ssh (required for cloning repos)
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
git \
openssh-client \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# Set working directory
WORKDIR /app
# Copy source files
COPY . .
# Cache dependencies
RUN deno cache main.ts
# Set environment
ENV DENO_DIR=/deno-dir
# Entry point
CMD ["deno", "run", "--allow-net", "--allow-env", "--env", "main.ts"]
```

Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:
- 📚 Set a Start Command
- 🧵 Docker Deployment with Environment Variables and Custom Entrypoint (Nakama Server)
- 🧵 Private URL not working (public URL works fine)
If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Hi there,
You do correctly have serverless enabled. However, the way serverless works is that it scales up/down based on traffic. Looking at your metrics, you have constant traffic - so, it's not scaling down because the traffic is constant.
If you want to run something on a schedule, you could also try using functions and scheduling them via the cron feature.
Best,
