N/A

I mean I don’t know my project ID atm. Like I said in new to this

hi 🙂

is your code in a github repo?

or is it all local?

Github

It’s the SkinPeek discord bot

But made my own with things from GitHub

you should be able to just deploy it from the web UI then

How would I do that again

dashboard -> new

My main issue is the discord bot runs but only with the command prompt open. If the command prompt is closed the bot will stop working

yeah so in a deployed environment, you won't need to worry about that. the reason why it stops on close is because it's just a process running inside of the terminal

So there is a way to prevent that

not closing it

Oh

or alternatively, just deploy it to a web host like railway if you need 24/7 access

Yes exactly

Ok so

On railway I go to dashboard -> new

Or is that in github

no you do it on railway

you're just using a github repo as the data source for files to be deployed

the reason why you can do it directly from github is because railway uses oauth2 from github to automatically authenticate you (github has a login gateway that developers can use programatically to be an "authorised application" for users who opt-in to allowing railway to access certain information in your gh account. although this doesn't stop malicious code, etc - but this is irrelevant at this point in time)

Is railway free to use?

i think the trial plan is free yeah, but after that it's $5/month + usage

So I would have to pay to run my bot 24/7

So I would copy this

And put it here

Yes that's correct.

Costs are based on how much resource you use, so it's not a fixed amount. I will say though that obviously, the more compute/data you use, the more it'll cost

Sorry I just wanted to quickly say - iirc the Hobby plan should come with $5 usage. If you're just using Railway for a Discord bot, it should come under the $5

This right?

And use this towards one month

Yes

You're currently on the trial plan which comes with $5 free usage but after that you'll likely need to upgrade to Hobby tier

This means you are on a limited trial, and cannot deploy code, only databases. To deploy code, you would need to upgrade to the hobby plan

Oh
