Discord Bot runs Locally, doesn't run on host

[pure socket]

I get a Error: /home/container/node_modules/canvas/build/Release/canvas.node: invalid ELF header error. I had more in my prior post, but i got timed out lol

Looking at the post in the logs, it shows the error is coming from a require() call, so it's very likely to do with an incorrect dependency

i assumed it to be canvas, but how would i test for which one locally? i get no errors on my machine

same exact code aswell

[simple spindle]

I'm not good at JS so I can't say for sure as the errors are not familiar to me. But that's my best guess basing on other experience

[simple spindle]

That just makes it more likely it's a depenceny error, because you probably have a version of the module required on your PC, but it's either missing or the wrong version on the server

[pure socket]

yeah, i thought i could try to do rm node_modules then reinstall it

but i can't run npm i as the server auto stops when it encounters the error

i also can't SSH in, commands are blocked through it

Are you renting a VPS or a bot hosting service?

[pure socket]

using their bot hosting service

[simple spindle]

you won't have SSH access to managed hosting like the bot hosting service

ah fairs

[simple spindle]

generally how they work is it's put in a docker container, and in the files you provide some kind of dependency list (I'm not sure how nodeJS does it) which it reads and installs on every run

but the file it uses is package.json

basically requirements.txt but more stuff lol

ah fairs

support says to install the files locally and to then upload it, but i've already tried that a few times 😭
