Keep your computer awake (and active!). Like caffeinate

/gnome-session-inhibit

Preventing the computer from explicitly sleeping, and/or by closing the lid, is often restricted in various ways by the OS, e.g. Only on AC power, not in any PC running Windows with Modern Standby. Also note that Modern Standby ignores/terminates power requests on DC (Battery) power, PowerSetRequest - Remarks.
