Hi,
I am hoping to resurrect a thread from 2024, as it’s still pertinent. As @magalhaes-d said in this thread from May of last year, Streamlit Community Cloud continues to hibernate my apps, even after I have set up a daily (and in my case, twice a day) automated push to the remote repo using GitHub Actions + a .yml file.
Here is the code to my .yml file that is run twice a day by GitHub Actions. The .yml just creates a simple text file with a timestamp, stores it in the repo, then commits and pushes to the repo.
name: Add Timestamp File
on:
schedule:
- cron: "0 7,19 * * *"
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
create-and-commit:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Create timestamp file
run: |
mkdir -p Assets
echo "$(date)" > Assets/timestamp.txt
cat Assets/timestamp.txt
- name: Commit and push changes
uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v9
with:
add: "Assets/timestamp.txt"
message: "Automated commit: Adding timestamp file"
push: true
When I run this GitHub action manually, I can confirm that the Streamlit app refreshes on the frontend. Here’s a link to the app.
And I’ve checked the repo and can confirm the GitHub actions is properly running every 12 hours. Incredibly, Streamlit Community Cloud still hibernates this app due to “inactivity.” Do I need to set this to run even more frequently than 12 hours to keep the app awake?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
