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)

Unfortunately there is now 24/7 not for discord music yet. Discord is only 2 years old and is still in development.
