Discord Bot

Started out as a side project for a discord server, but I have since decided to opensource it for others to use. This project will likely not see any more updates as I look for other (more enjoyable) things to do instead.

Prerequisites:

• NodeJS and npm
• MongoDB set up and running (See this if you don't know how)
• A decent enough server (I can run this fine on a 2GB Digitalocean droplet with 50GB storage)

How to set up

• 1. Clone the repository to your directory of choice on your server. (It will create its own folder so keep this in mind) git clone https://github.com/dev-sda1/DiscBot.git This shouldn't take long to copy over if your provider's bandwidth is good enough
• 2. Edit the config.json file in the storage folder to add your token and mongo account. Make sure it's secure! Click here if you don't know how
• 3. Navigate to the root of the folder and run npm install && npm bot
• 4. Check that your bot is online in the server!

If you want it to keep running, see the guide below for how to run it with forever:

Running it under Forever

• 1. Install forever using npm install forever
• 2. Follow all the steps above until step 3.
• 3. On step 3, use npm install && forever start bot to install all the required extras and to start it immediately.

To check logs, use forever logs and navigate to the directory it shows you. It's typically /root/.forever/[random_name].log
