Replit Keep Alive

Replit Keep Alive is a Python script wrapper meant to, with the help of UptimeRobot, keep Replit from terminating a Python script when the browser tab is closed.

Installation

The host environment needs to have the following software packages:

• Latest Replit Keep Alive source code

  • Download a release package

  • Clone the repository via Git

     git clone https://github.com/erickyeagle/replit-keep-alive.git
    

• Python 3.5+

Usage

Keeping a script alive without modification of the script

1. Copy requirements.txt and everything in /src to the host environment.

2. Modify .replit by replacing <script> with the target script file.

3. Configure UptimeRobot to point to your web server.

4. Install dependencies.

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Incorporating Replit Keep Alive into another software module

1. Copy all source code files (except for .replit as this will interfere with Replit's normal run process) to the host environment.

2. Import the Replit Keep Alive module into your software module.

   from replit_keep_alive import keep_alive

3. Call the keep_alive() method where appropriate.

4. Configure UptimeRobot to point to your web server.
