I have been trying to host a discord bot on heroku for some time now. I Have everything set up now but the connection keeps timing out after 90 seconds because it cannot sustain a connection and I am not sure what is wrong.
Procfile: web: java $JAVA_OPTS -Dserver.port=$PORT -cp target/classes:target/dependency/* com.marcuzzo.JDABot.Bot
Error log:
2020-07-17T17:54:47.513540+00:00 heroku[web.1]: Starting process with command `java $JAVA_OPTS -Dserver.port=7699 -cp target/classes:target/dependency/* com.marcuzzo.JDABot.Bot`

I have been told to change the dyno in my procfile to anything OTHER then web
but while the build succeeds, the bot never goes online if I were to use something like bot
.
This post tells me to call a listen()
method but I think this was either written for python or it is part of a library I do not know about.
My application is pretty short considering I am just focused on getting it hosted:
package com.marcuzzo.JDABot;
import net.dv8tion.jda.api.JDA;
import net.dv8tion.jda.api.JDABuilder;
public class Bot {
public static void main (String[] args) {
int port = Integer.parseInt(System.getenv("PORT"));
// String host = "0.0.0.0";
String token = "insert token here";
try {
JDA jda = JDABuilder.createDefault(token).build();
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I am not sure if there is a certain method in the JDA library I am using that would solve this problem but I have not found any so far.

Looks like your bot is not web app. You should use worker
heroku configuration. Please check https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/run-non-web-java-processes-on-heroku
