warm peak
When the whatsapp bot stays for too long without activity, the client stops responding.
How would i a be able to fix this?
I have tried using both Local and RemoteAuth
My puppeteer settings are as follows:
puppeteer: { headless: true,args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox']}
I also found this github issue
I don't know if another found a solution to this

Any help or guide will be appreciated

Here is the fix
What caused the issue : Heroku freezes a project after a certain period of inactivity and this applies for the project running on free dynos
Which coincidentally ends tomorrow
FIX :
Have a site that pings your project regularly for example after every 5 minutes
A perfect one would be one for checking the status of your server such as the one below

nah im not using heroku
the client literally just dies on my paid vps
forcing me to restart my node process daily

I use pm2 and had a cron to restart browser every morning at 12am

Can u show ur code or the process to do something like this?
Do u restart ur entire node process?

Ah glad to know that this is a known issue, I thought it's just me

I personally restart my apps every even hour with pm2 cron as well
the restart takes under a minute and doesn't bother service
if you are really needing more uptime do one every 4 minutes instead
though I don't know if heroku is supporting pm2

Why don't you use a service to just ping your application every 5 minutes rather than a cron job
Seems quite an overkill since you are on heroku don't you think?
But please inform me on why you opted for this i could learn more about the matter well

I don't use heroku
I say personally I restart my WhatsApp Web connection every hour to ensure stability and making sure it doesn't freeze
I use PM2 to manage my node.js programs
near shadow
and pm2 has its own cron
it is a runtime to manage the node runtime
read up on ir
I don't use Heroku, so the need to ping wouldn't be of a use to me

Yes that was where i was confused about
If you are using heroku no need for pm2 but for something like linode pm2 is literally essential

I have seen your projects on git btw ... Good work man
I'm currently modifying some projects of yours such as The mongoRemote store 🙂
near shadow
well actually that is what @left tinsel
did
he implemented the store stuff
remote store*
warm peak
well actually that is what <@491474256178446338>
Nice
Well what i did is just looked at the remote store code and the mongo one and just enabled the user to save the ids in mongo and the authentication zips in their server
I had an issue where i did not want to create the client after the initialisation of mongoose connection with the database
Should i share the code ?
It's nothing big but it is (kind of) fun
