That's twice now that my bot's programming has been deleted without me knowing why.
So I've recreated it twice now. It's a daily bot, which posts the same topic every day, only the title date changes.
Could you tell me what's causing my problem?
Thanks in advance.

Is there anything in the logs around the time it was successfully posted the last time? It works by executing the task and then scheduling it again. Or did other jobs disappear as well?

I'm sorry I can't tell you. I'm a mere user.

Are you using the instance hosted by me at https://schedule.lemmings.world/ or a self-hosted instance?

I'm doing a major rewrite that should (among others) fix this issue, though it's gonna take me a few more days.

Oh, that's great news!

For additional context, we noticed that scheduled post work usually fine, but the issue mentioned above seems to happen when we try to use the "picture upload" feature with "host on my instance" checked

We had the same problem when running it in docker. The dev runs theirs on bare metal I think (no docker) and theirs doesn't have that problem. We switched to using their instance for a while before figuring out another solution.

[–] rikudou 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What solution, if I might inquire?

[–] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just an API call on a cron schedule 😀

It was much harder for me to figure out than your Lemmy-Schedule, but so far so good. Pros and cons to both!

[–] rikudou 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah, good old cron!

Anyway, I'm in the middle of a significant rewrite that should fix most of the issues, do you want me to ping you once it's done so you can give it another try?

[–] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 1 points 2 days ago

Yep, gotta love cron.

Sure, always interested in new developments.
