A private project

Glitch Help
1

Hello,
I have a private discord bot project, I don’t want other people to see the code, but there is 1 problem.
I have noticed that uptimerobot will not keep my bot up, and I think it might be happening because my project is private, any suggestions?

2

It is not because the project is private, it is because Glitch projects sleep after 5 mins of inactivity, and stop after 12 hours. If Uptimerobot is failing you, I recommend using Awake! made by a respected member of the Glitch community

3

should i just put my bot’s link in there? and it will be 24/7?

4

Yes, the https://project-name.glitch.me/ link

5

im putting in my link but it will just load non stop, did it work?

6

And it will ping on Awake’s 5 min timers

7

its saying project not found

8

It pings itself, so it can stay online

also, Glitch is currently having issues with projects and stuff
see up to date status of Glitch here status.glitch.com

9

maybe thats why my bot is down sometimes?
i saw that glitch wouldnt run my bot sometimes and sometimes the website is a bit slow

10

its now working i have added it to the list, hope its gonna work

11

Yep, but in case it doesn’t work, it is prob Glitch server issues

12

i shut-downed the uptimerobot and added it to the Awake list, gonna check it out in 20min

13

Okay, well hope I helped you with your issue ツ

14

Thanks, and are you sure its a good hosting service? or is it gonna randomly shut-down?

15

it just went offline

16

Very, very reliable…
My Glitch users use it, if it shutdowns, use my remix or make your own

17

My remixed version is https://empty-sun-cylinder.glitch.me/

18

i just want my bot to run 24/7 and nothing is working tbh

19

Glitch is unstable at the moment, no idea when this is going to be fixed. :confused:

20

@itay949494994 Do you have a webpage for the servers to ping?

21

what do you mean?
and btw the uptimerobot seems to be working good and glitch is also working good at the moment, hope they will fix the problems soon

22

UptimeRobot looks at least every 5 minutes, but it’s actually more spaced. So the project will sleep.
Awake! Refers every other minute. However, this is a Glitch project and will stop after 12 hours.

Please note that if you remix Awake!, you will need to refer this project to other services.

I can teach you other services that allow you to browse every other minute:

It is against the rules that you do not stop many projects with Glitch.
Apply it to the bare minimum project.

It actually pings itself from UpTimeRobot and such, so I wouldn’t worry @balloon

Also, staff knows this is going on, they would have suspended Awake!
Some staff even replied about if it was allowed and they said yes, they could do that

Hey there!

Just letting you know that I am using Uptimerobot too and it’s very easy to get to know when your bot is down.

Thereby, I also use a coded version of uptime to guatantee the uptime of my project. If you want to know it, be free to send me a PM and I’ll give you the code you’ll have to insert in your server.js file.

Hope this helped.

I mean, it’s not hard to make one

const http = require('http');
setInterval(() => { http.get(`http://${process.env.PROJECT_DOMAIN}.glitch.me`) }, 1 * 60 * 1000) // minutes * 60 * 1000

Lol, that is what I told him…
