SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Choosing where to run always-on services, bots, game servers, Docker workloads, or background jobs 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, or third-party cloud providers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hosting Decision Logic: Evaluates workload requirements (persistence, WebSockets, Docker, compute limits, fixed IP) against WebDev Autoscale, Reserved Hosting, and Cloud Computer tiers to recommend the right platform. - Cloud Computer Operations: Covers pricing tiers, purchase and upgrade links, UFW firewall rules, systemd auto-start configuration, backups, and agents.md environment persistence. - WebDev Migration: Provides a step-by-step path for migrating a WebDev project to a Cloud Computer, including OAuth replacement, database and S3 decisions, domain/HTTPS setup, and cron re-creation. - Use Case: A user wants to run a Telegram bot 24/7 with Docker. The Skill determines WebDev Reserved Hosting fits within 1 vCPU / 512 MB, or recommends a Cloud Computer when OS-level control is required. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to evaluate where to deploy your always-on service, bot, or Docker workload and recommend the right hosting option.

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 bot or background worker 24/7 on Manus?

Use WebDev Reserved Hosting, which runs a single persistent process 24/7 behind an HTTPS URL with no request timeout. It covers bots, WebSocket servers, and background workers within 1 vCPU and 512 MB RAM, with usage-based pricing up to about $37.50 per month.

When should I use a Cloud Computer instead of WebDev?

Choose a Cloud Computer when you need OS-level control such as root access, Docker, custom system packages, or resources beyond WebDev's 1 vCPU and 512 MB limit. Persistence or WebSockets alone are not reasons to leave WebDev, since Reserved Hosting covers those.

How much does a Cloud Computer cost?

Cloud Computer plans start at $10 per month for Basic (2 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 35 GB storage), $30 for Standard (4 GB RAM), and $50 for Advanced (8 GB RAM). Extra storage costs $1 per 10 GB monthly and excess outbound traffic is $0.15 per GB.

Can I migrate an existing WebDev project to a Cloud Computer?

Yes, but Manus OAuth must be replaced because its redirect URIs are locked to the manus.space domain. You also decide whether to keep or replace the TiDB database, Forge S3 storage, and built-in APIs, then configure a domain, HTTPS, and cron jobs on the Cloud Computer.

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

Services on a Cloud Computer do not restart automatically after reboots caused by tier upgrades, backup restores, or manual restarts. Configure auto-start with systemd units or Supervisor, and open required ports with ufw since only port 22 is open by default.

Do connectors work on Cloud Computers or WebDev projects?

User-configured connectors are not available by default in WebDev, cloud computers, or local computers. You can either extract fixed API keys from the connector and reuse them, or call the Manus API to run tasks that use the connectors on your behalf.
