[Answered] Cron job python and discord.py

[geozz]

Hi,

 

I want to run a musicbot for discord. This bot normally starts running /filepath/run.py

This bot uses discord.py etc, i think all modules are available, https://krydos2.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/modules36.py

 

But, the bot just dont start?

 

Cron job: 0 15 0 0 0 home/myname/Muziekbot1/musicbot-master/run.py
This bot can work on ubuntu, raspbian, windows and mac.

This is the bot: https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot

 

This is the official guide for ubuntu  16, but i do not know how to run that here. But i just uploaded the files, and added a cron for run.py
# Install build tools
sudo apt-get install build-essential unzip -y
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y

# Add external repositories
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/xerus-media -y

# Install system dependencies
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install git ffmpeg libopus-dev libffi-dev libsodium-dev python3-pip python3-dev -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y

# Clone the MusicBot to your home directory
git clone https://github.com/Just-Some-Bots/MusicBot.git ~/MusicBot -b master
cd ~/MusicBot

# Install Python dependencies
sudo python3 -m pip install -U pip
sudo python3 -m pip install -U -r requirements.txt

 

 

Any idea how to get this working?

 

Regards

Actually, what is the server time location? I tried 14PM on Amsterdam time

[geozz]

  sudo /home/geozz/Muziekbot1/MusicBot-master/run.sh   python /home/geozz/Muziekbot1/MusicBot-master/run.py

Not working

That'll never work because sudo requires root.

 

This script will not run here as it is a standalone program/daemon that also requires root access. We don't allow standalone programs, and would never remotely consider offering root access.

 

You need this: https://heliohost.org/partners/vps to run that.

That link works for me...weird. It's supposed to be a redirect for https://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting?irgwc=1&clickid=wieyNCW63TwK3cgyOYwdcwiyUkj10ITp1SR7140&affpat=1

That link works for me too.

 

Another thing I wanted to point out is your instructions will only work on Ubuntu/Debian and other distros that use apt. Our servers, for instance, run Centos so apt-get and apt don't even exist. Keep these OS's in mind when you create your VPS.

I thought you ran redhat?

Judging by phpinfo... (Configure Command, right at the beginning...)

Nope. cPanel/EasyApache actually does the build for PHP I believe...they apparently use the redhat configurations even when running on CentOS 

 

Straight from WHM (yes we know it's outdated, we avoid updating whenever we can because all the custom stuff breaks every time we do):

CENTOS 7.4 x86_64 vmware – tommy  cPanel & WHM 64.0 (build 36)

Centos and Redhat are pretty compatible. Centos is basically intended to be a free Redhat.
