Auto renew domain

Freenom Auto Renew Domains

Description

This application is a scraper built with puppeteer combined to a discord bot that list your domains, their status and how many days it left before it needs a renew. This application will also auto renew you free domains when it's possible. (auto renewal is deactivated by default for paid domains, but in a future update you'll be able to manage auto renew with discord commands)

It is highly recommended using this app under a process manager like pm2, as it become a background process that will run on your server. If you don't have a dedicated server that is always on, consider using Heroku.

Warning

Due to lack of accessible data on freenom and to avoid unwanted behavior, please be sure at the first start that there is no free domains renewable.

You can take a look here My Freenoms Domains.

If you have free domain that is renewable please renew it before starting this tool. In this way, free domain won't be considered as paid domain and set auto renew to false by default while creating database for the first time. Of course, for the next launches of the tool, you don't mind about having free domains renewable, the tool will automatically renew it if the first start was execute as described before.
