what's the best free way of keeping my bot online for atleast a day

[VirusDumb]

so i made a bot following this tutorial  right now it's a very simple bot just reads message and posts a reaction image or meme, but the method to keep the bot online on replit is now paid, and I don't have any dineros, so is there a way to keep my bot online for atleast 24 hours without any interaction and how do i import my file to that while keeping the env secrets and stuff, i tried pythonanywhere.com but it just won't connect to discord, please help me out

You could self host for now? Just run it on a pc at home.

If you're on a laptop/PC you can just host it on there, keep it on for 24 hours.

CloudFlare workers? https://discord.com/developers/docs/tutorials/hosting-on-cloudflare-workers

Well simply put 24/7 free hosting is a loss for any company so they simply wont do it. Pretty much with no money the option is self host, find some small startup that does "free" hosting to attract customers or well bust

Rent a cheap VPS (~1$ a month):

Or dick around with "free" hosting services, which will without a doubt at some point cease being free or severily cripple the service.

Surely you can use your [android] phone. People keep them on 24/7. 

 

Install https://termux.dev/en/ and then python 3 and you are good to go. Don't forget to set wakelock to prevent the operating system from sleeping, killing, and freezing your python script

Maybe you can use Oracle free tier?

Not sure if it is within their terms thought.

Along with oracle free tier and cloudflare workers, GCP (google) also has a free tier for some of their services, so you could give it a try with a regular VPS instance or some serveless offering
