SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Choosing where to run always-on services, background jobs, Docker workloads, or heavy compute is confusing when the default sandbox hibernates and cannot host long-lived processes. This Skill provides a decision framework for picking between Manus WebDev (Autoscale or Reserved Hosting), a Cloud Computer VM, a local machine via the desktop client, or third-party cloud providers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hosting Decision Logic: Evaluates workload requirements (persistent processes, WebSockets, Docker, fixed IP, resource ceilings) against WebDev Autoscale, WebDev Reserved Hosting, and Cloud Computer tiers to pick the right platform. - Cloud Computer Guidance: Covers pricing tiers ($10-$50/month), UFW firewall rules, systemd auto-start configuration, backups, and purchase or upgrade links for the persistent Ubuntu VM. - WebDev Migration Playbook: Walks through moving a WebDev project to a Cloud Computer, including replacing Manus OAuth, migrating environment variables, database and S3 decisions, domain/HTTPS setup, and cron re-creation. - Connector Workarounds: Explains how to use connectors in persistent environments by extracting fixed API credentials or calling the Manus API. - Use Case: A user wants to self-host n8n with Docker on a fixed IP. The Skill rules out WebDev, recommends a Cloud Computer tier, and provides the UFW, systemd, and domain setup steps. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to help you choose and set up hosting for a service that must run continuously, such as a game server, bot, or self-hosted app.

Frequently Asked Questions about persistent-computing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a persistent service that the Manus sandbox cannot host?

First check whether WebDev Reserved Hosting fits, since it runs a single persistent process 24/7 within 1 vCPU and 512 MB. If you need Docker, root access, or more resources, use a Cloud Computer VM starting at $10/month.

WebDev Reserved Hosting vs Cloud Computer: which should I choose?

Choose Reserved Hosting for persistent processes like WebSocket servers, bots, or background workers within 1 vCPU and 512 MB RAM. Choose a Cloud Computer only when you need OS-level control, Docker, custom packages, or resources beyond that ceiling.

Can I run Docker or self-hosted apps like n8n on Manus?

Yes, on a Cloud Computer, which is a managed Ubuntu Server 24.04 VM with full root access and Docker support. WebDev does not support Docker or custom system packages, so OS-level requirements rule it out.

How do I migrate a WebDev project to a Cloud Computer?

Replace Manus OAuth with another auth provider, decide whether to keep or replace the database, S3 storage, and Forge APIs, then move code and environment variables, configure a domain with Nginx and certbot, and re-create cron jobs as systemd timers.

Why did my service stop working after a Cloud Computer reboot?

Services on a Cloud Computer do not restart automatically unless configured with systemd units or Supervisor. Tier upgrades, backup restores, and manual restarts all cause reboots, so auto-start configuration is mandatory.

Do connectors work on cloud computers or in WebDev projects?

User-configured connectors are not available by default in persistent environments. You can either extract fixed API credentials from the connector and store them in the target environment, or call the Manus API to execute tasks that use the connectors.
