Vps (Using PM2)

Hosting 24/7 on a VPS

📥 Installing PM2​

node.js

Make sure you have Node.js installed on your VPS before proceeding!

To install PM2 globally, run:

npm install -g pm2

After installation, confirm that PM2 is installed by checking its version:

pm2 --version

✅ Starting Open Ticket​

Once PM2 is installed, navigate to your Open Ticket folder and start the bot using PM2:

pm2 start npm --name="<bot-name>" -- start

📌 Explanation​

  • pm2 start npm → Runs an npm script using PM2.
  • --name="<bot-name>" → Assigns a name to the process (you can change this).
  • -- start → Runs the start script from Open Ticket’s package.json.

To verify that the bot is running, use:

pm2 list

If everything is correct, you should see Open Ticket in the process list.

Visit the PM2 documentation for more info:

💡 Managing PM2 Processes​

Once Open Ticket is running with PM2, you can control it with various commands.

▶️ Start or Restart the Bot​

If the bot is stopped or crashes, restart it with:

pm2 restart <bot-name>

If you need to start it again after stopping:

pm2 start <bot-name>

⏹️ Stop or Delete the Bot​

To temporarily stop the bot:

pm2 stop <bot-name>

To completely remove it from PM2:

pm2 delete <bot-name>

📜 Viewing Logs​

If something isn’t working, check the logs with:

pm2 logs <bot-name>

You can also view real-time logs:

pm2 monit

🔄 Auto-Restart on Server Reboot​

To ensure Open Ticket starts automatically when your VPS reboots, run:

pm2 startup

This will generate a command that you need to copy and run. Then, save your process list so that it restarts after reboot:

pm2 save

🏆 Summary​

With PM2, Open Ticket will run 24/7 on your VPS. It will automatically restart if it crashes and can be configured to start on boot. Use the commands above to manage your bot and keep it running smoothly.
