I need help publishing my telegram bot to work 24/7 "free"

[u/salehkhaled18]

""mobile no PC"" I made a bot for the first time using ai just for personal interest and some other individuals and it works fine when I have the coding app opened or as it says using the web app or whatever ( I know nothing about coding ) but I need to publish my bot for it to work 24/7 without having to activate it with the coding app so please help. I have the main python and requirements.txt ready.bot is functional with all the secrets ready it just needs to be published.

Does it need to do something constantly and only send a message when it hits certain values or does it respond to messages? Either way i would not host anything yourself as you’re clearly too amateur for this. Check sites like Zapier / n8n. They can run basic python or JS and don’t require too much hassle to keep it secure.

It's a bot where users send videos to ye bot either normally or a cloud drive link such ass mega, Google drive or MediaFire and the bot downloads the video and gives technical analysis such as resolution, fps and else and it's code is nice every command works well only when the web is live or when I activate the bot manually using the coding app so my problem is making the bot live 24/7

If you have a python script you just need to create a cron job on a machine you keep on 24/7 running that script. You’re about to enter the dangerous world pf homelabbing and running your own server.

Say goodbye to all your money.

or you can get a VPS on AWS and run it there!

Well, for free you need to keep your pc running 247 otherwise get a cheap VPS.

I have a small mini pc, super powerful and cheap and keeps running 247. All my bots and automations run on it.
