I'm a Python newbie and I've created a bot that I run on Replit. However, it keeps going offline after a while, and I want to know if there's any way to keep it running continuously. I've tried using uptime monitoring tools, but they haven't solved the issue. Also, if you have any recommendations for other platforms that can run my bot for longer periods, I'd appreciate it!

And just a quick tip: don’t forget about punctuation! It makes your posts easier to read.
One option is to wrap your Python app in a Docker container and deploy it on a Linux server. This can help keep your bot always on. If you need help with the Docker setup, just let me know!
Make sure you're aware of the limitations of the free plan on Replit, as it doesn't support always-on apps. You might want to look at upgrading to premium or using a different hosting platform that allows longer uptime, like DigitalOcean or Heroku.
Can you explain how to do the Docker setup?
