Deploy Discord bot on vps (Plesk)

I have recently created a Discord bot in Javascript. I have bought a vps (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Plesk Web Host) and a domain name. How do I run a Discord Bot 24/7 on this server? I have tried putting the app.js in a subdomain but that of course didn't seem to work... I have enabled node.js

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • Solved the problem! I've downloaded Jenkins so it automatically deploys. After that I deploy it using forever. If someone wants to do this too, here is the script for jenkinsfile:

    pipeline {
  agent any

  tools {nodejs "node"}

  stages {
      stage('start node') {
        steps {
            sh 'npm --prefix ./src install ./src'
            sh 'JENKINS_NODE_COOKIE=dontKillMe forever stop ./src/app.js || true'
            sh 'JENKINS_NODE_COOKIE=dontKillMe forever start ./src/app.js'
        }
     }
  }
}
