Asked by Joy Biswas
Hello, I’m new to DO. I was using HEROKU previously. Now, I’m trying to deploy a telegram bot that has yt-dlp dependency along with FFMPEG. How do I install FFMPEG?
Also I was going through some Q/A on google related to “telegram bots on digital ocean”, I came across some questions. Now I want to know how do I keep my droplet running without having to manually run from shell/cli?

Commands like

nodeas the base image in your Dockerfile (DockerHub link):I wrote
server.jsto verify I can runffmpegcommands in my NodeJS app. I can share the source code if that’s helpful.Hope this helps!
any of you found that the ffmpeg gets killed while converting videos?
