SoundBot is a containerized soundboard for Discord. The soundbot image is hosted on Dockerhub. It can be pulled to your local machine by running "docker pull wallsofcode/soundbot".
Build and run the docker container with the following environment variables set:
- SOUNDBOT_TOKEN: The API token of the bot retrieved from the Discord Developers Portal
- SOUNDBOT_PREFIX: The command prefix for the soundboard. The default is ';'.
- SOUNDBOT_ACTIVITY: The activity string for the bot user. This defaults to the help message.
If docker-compose is your cup of tea, I've included a very simple example file named example-soundbot-compose.yaml which will get you up and running quickly. Make sure to change your API token in the file!
Begin by collecting MP3 sounds you would like to use in the SoundBot in a folder.
Standalone Docker Deployment:
- Mount the folder as a volume to "/app/soundboard" in the container. (docker run --volume ./sounds:/app/soundboard wallsofcode/soundbot)
Kubernetes Deployment:
- Create a volume and populate it through kubectl. (kubectl cp ./sounds your-soundbot-pod:/app/soundboard) This method can be done with an emptyDir without problems, however a PVC is better as it will persist the data.
- The basename of the file is what will be used as the command name. For example, if a file is named "hello.mp3", then the command will be the bot prefix + "hello".
