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.

    Ooooooooooooooook. Summary of operations:
    1/ the day before yesterday, I recreated the schedule for the bot (for 7am yesterday morning)
    2/ yesterday morning, my bot created the topic at the said time
    3/ this morning, I checked at 6.45am and the schedule is still there
    Temporary conclusion:
    it’s during the SECOND creation that the scheduler gets stuck in the carpet and makes the schedule disappear.
    Action: this morning, I recreate a schedule WITHOUT IMAGE. We’ll see the day after tomorrow.

    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

    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?

    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.

        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!

          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?
