How to keep the opencomputer connexion alive after a server reboot

Hi,

Frist of, your lib is amazing, I have build a discord bot using it, with two way communication, and I'm building a full base monitoring / managing with grafana and a node server. I have also made a Nodejs Typescript client library.

I'm am wordering, how do you keep the connexion alive on the opencomputer ? The ping seams buggy since it fails every time, even tho the server responded to the ping. The only hacky way is to send a message every 10 secondes to a "pings" chanels, but I don't know how to restart the connexion on disconection.

Do you have a use case ?

My code

local component = require("component")
local event = require("event")
local stem = require('./stem')


local server = stem.connect('some.stem.server')
server:subscribe('mc-message-in')
local cb = component.getPrimary("command_block")

 
local char_space = string.byte(" ")
local running = true
 
function unknownEvent(a, b, c, d)
  -- do nothing if the event wasn't relevant
end
 
local myEventHandlers = setmetatable({}, { __index = function() return unknownEvent end })
 
function myEventHandlers.key_up(adress, char, code, playerName)
  if (char == char_space) then
    running = false
  end
end

function encodeMessageIntoStr (user,message)
  return '' .. user .. ':' .. message
end

function myEventHandlers.chat_message(adress, user, message)
  server:send('mc-message-out', encodeMessageIntoStr(user, message))
end

function myEventHandlers.stem_message(channel_id, message)
  print('Stem', channel_id, message)
  if (channel_id == 'mc-message-in') then
    print('Sending message')
    cb.setCommand('/say ' .. message)
    cb.executeCommand()
  end
end

-- The main event handler as function to separate eventID from the remaining arguments
function handleEvent(eventID, ...)
  print('New event : ' .. eventID)
  if (eventID) then -- can be nil if no event was pulled for some time
    myEventHandlers[eventID](...) -- call the appropriate event handler with all remaining arguments
  end
end

function keepAlive()
  server:send('pings', 'listener')
end

local timer = event.timer(10, keepAlive, math.huge)
-- main event loop which processes all events, or sleeps if there is nothing to do
while running do
  handleEvent(event.pull()) -- sleeps until an event is available, then process it
end

event.cancel(timer)
server:disconnect()
