How your room works
Room states, what survives sleep, disk, and what happens if the machine goes away.
Each room is its own small virtual machine on inis.run, running one agent, hermes. Nobody else's agent shares it.
Room states
- Awake. Running and ready to answer.
- Asleep. Frozen until something wakes it.
- Can't reach it. The machine it ran on went away. See below.
What survives sleep
Sleep freezes the room: memory, files and running programs are all there when it wakes. Remote ends may drop network connections while it sleeps, so programs should be ready to reconnect. Don't count on the pre-installed browser staying signed in to websites across sleep.
Disk
Your home folder, /workspace, is at least the Disk figure for your room's
size in the size table; the pre-installed browser
takes part of it. Disk can't be added.
Can't reach it
Nothing is rebuilt behind your back; the room waits for your choice.
- Restore this room: the same room at the same address, as it was when it last went to sleep; anything since is lost. Offered only when a saved copy exists.
- Start over, offered only when there's nothing to restore: a new, empty room at a new address (ports too), keeping your bot and its settings.
- Delete also lets go of your bot and its settings.
An unreachable room usually costs nothing; one that can't be woken again still pays storage until you delete it. If Restore finishes and the room still says Can't reach it, get in touch.
Deleting a room
Deleting removes the room and everything in it, for good. There's no export: copy out what you want over SSH first.
