You need some node module that would allow to run it forever.
I can recommend you two - pm2 or forever. I’m more on side of pm2 as it have better process management. Also there are tutorials on DO for setting it up.
Follow PM2 part of Set Up Node.js App for Production. It’ll show you how to make it run always and as a service (e.g. automatically run it when servers reboot or after power on)
Hi there,
Just came across this question and wanted to mention that in addition to using PM2 by following the steps here: Set Up Node.js App for Production., I could also suggest going through this tutorial here on How To Build a Discord Bot with Node.js.
Regards, Bobby
You need to host the script somewhere at all times, this is what a server is typically used for, I have bought a VPS (Virtual Private Server) for my discord bots so I can host them on there and they will always be running, these VPS’s cost around 5$ a month.

Instead of using PM2 or Forever… you can simply use & install SCREEN… just open a new screen, run your process… then close your terminal.
Hey TastyCookies, I had this problem too. If you’re trying to make the bot appear as online, you may need to connect to Discord’s sockets, which will make the dot appear and the bot will show as online. Just connecting and making REST calls isn’t enough. This is what we did with Guilded’s Discord bot (http://www.guilded.gg/discord_bots), and it came online after that. I’d personally recommend discord.io for websockets for this.
Unfortunately there is now 24/7 not for discord music yet. Discord is only 2 years old and is still in development.
Ugh… This did not really help me cause I use a chromebook… Is there a way to get custom bot commands using a chromebook?
