Host

Hello, I would like to put the bot on hosting
I am an ordinary user, installed the bot according to the instructions
And now I would like the bot to work on the host, I tried to put it on the host "Heroku" but I did not succeed :(
I looked at different manuals, but they did not help me.
I just wanted to get some advice from you, and maybe someone else can help with that, I'm sure it's not difficult to do (probably)
(I don't know English well, so I used Google Translate xD)
Okay, I can try to help you but I have no experience with Heroku myself.
Thank you, this hosting is free.
I can start the bot through the Heroku console on the site (heroku run bash)
but after closing the console, the bot is disabled and the changes cannot be saved.
When I launch the bot through the "worker node index.js", I get an error - "Error: module" ./config.json "could not be found."
I see that the bot can work fine if I run it through the console, but I can not understand how to make the bot run through the "worker node index.js."
I understand that when I run the bot on the server, it should immediately know my token, client id and other information, but I do not understand how to give him this information before the launch, or after the launch. Maybe that's why it doesn't work properly.
I have little knowledge of this, so I may not know something, and make stupid mistakes :)
It seems like the worker runs in a different directory where no config.json exists, and as you can't access console input it won't be able to run the configuration wizard. Maybe you can find a way to copy the config.json into the worker's directory.
I managed to launch a bot on the Heroku host!
I launched the bot on my PC via Ubuntu, then I ran npm run config command, set all the settings, then I looked at the files in the directory using the ls -la command and saw the file config.json there, I opened it through command cat config.json, copied all the contents, and created the same file on github.
Done.
It is important that your repository is private :)
Thank you for paying attention to my problem :)
Glad to hear everything worked for you. 😄
