Hosting the bot

Before you follow this, make sure that you have Docker installed.

• Grab the docker compose file and put it in a directory of your choice (where you want to run the bot)
• In the command line, navigate into that directory
• Run echo "BOT_TOKEN=<YOUR TOKEN>" >> .env
• Run docker compose up

The bot will now run and automatically check for updates every 24hrs

Finding your bot token

• Go tho the Discord developer portal
• Click on New Application, give your bot a name and click on Create
• On the left side, click on Bot
• Click on Add Bot
• Now, you should see a new Build-A-Bot section. In the Token subsection of this, click on Copy

NOTE: Do NOT share this token with anyone!

Inviting your bot

Make sure that you have already created a bot application. If not, follow the steps under 'Finding your bot's token'.

• Go to the Discord developer portal and click on your application (bot)
• On the left side, click on OAuth2 -> URL Generator
• Select bot and application.commands
• In the Bot Permissions section, select Administrator
• Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Copy
• Now paste the copied url into a new tab and add the bot to your server

Installing Docker

• On Windows and macOS, you can simply install Docker Desktop
• On Linux, I prefer using the installation script.

$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
$ sudo sh get-docker.sh
