Is there a way to make the bot run without a local machine running it?

[RicardoVMon]

Me and a friend did the integration of the Chat GPT-4 bot, it works as intended but we noticed that it only works while;

a) my PC is turned on
b) We ran the command "pyhon main.py"

Basically, cmd cant be closed, otherwise it idle´s the bot

Is there a way for it to run without being manually turned on? or because the repository is running locally it HAS to be done manually?
Great bot anyways!

You can host it on replit

Env are secrets btw

Then ping the url using webmonitor

I like this one personaly https://console.cron-job.org/jobs/create
Then run at 5 minutes intervel

Thanks, We ended up using Replit to run the code, and Uptimerobot to keep it running on the cloud. Great Job with the bot!
