I’ve written a bot for !dailygames@lemmy.zip that I’m currently just running on my desktop. But I’d like to be able to set and forget it (except for when I do updates) by running it on my Synology NAS.
How can I best pull the node app from GitHub and run it on my Synology, preferably automatically running on start-up if the Synology is restarted.
Why can’t you run it on your desktop?
I can, but that would require manually starting it up every time I restart my computer—which is daily, for the most part. And there are times when I don’t even turn on my computer for the day, or don’t do so before the 2pm time the bot needs to run. It would be better to have it running on a system that’s always online.
You could use task scheduler. However, that won’t fix the uptime issue.
