Node app created by enclose module getting shuts down on idle in production mode

Question

I am working with a node.js application whose .exe has been made using Enclose module, although it is working fine, only problem is that the application automatically shuts down after 10 minutes opening if left idle, no interaction with it.

• Is it because of "Process working time" and "Network connections" are Limited in the free version?
• Will the app run continuously without shutting down if i subscribe to the full version?
• Will this issue be permanently fixed for the exe builds created with the paid version, or will the exe work fine only till my subscription ends?

What should I do to resolve this. OR if I have to choose any other module to launch node application for production then which module should I choose?

Can anyone who has used Enclose module of node js resolves this problem?

Thank you!

to be honest, if Your app makes money, it's not a problem to pay 100$ per year. but I agree that if You've done some great job why You should pay? so You've 3 ways: 1) rewrite using some nodejs framework (example: electron), 2) create desktop app with web view component and communicate with nodejs app that runs in bg (by executing node app.js), 3) create some little executable that will run nodejs app and open browser. You can keep app up and running using pm2, forever but it makes more headaches than just paying some amount and demanding for perfect service from enclosejs creators (: – Tar

have You checked this? npmjs.com/package/nexe or this: npmjs.com/package/node-compile – Tar

Yes i have checked nexe. it makes a bulky build and getting issues with native modules. so I rejected that. – Montserrat

Can I run pm2 command pragmatically, like on click of exe command of pm2 start will run ? – Montserrat

if You think to make enclosed app to keep running - You cannot. cuz app will shut down and re-run again that is not good for UX – Tar

seems like You've only one way: pay for enclosejs for 1 one month and if everything will go well, so pay for another month and so on... – Tar

ok thanks for your help but i will keep looking for another solution and also try if I can run the PM2 pragmatically. – Montserrat

sorry that I didn't gave exceptional answer. I'm don't like to make desktop apps using nodejs without proper desktop framework. wish You to find good solution. – Tar

Let us continue this discussion in chat. – Montserrat

I have purchased enclose js paid version, now it is working fine . – Montserrat

Oh that business world. Makes people waste money (: – Tar
