Self-hosting

We do not recommend self-hosting the bot, but it's always an option. To selfhost the bot yourself, you need to have:

• Node - confirmed working on v12.16.1
• npm - comes with Node, the version shouldn't really matter
• A Discord bot token, and having the bot in your server
• An mongodb.com-database set up, as well as a user to it (with write access)
• A clone of the source code, this can be found here and needs to be extracted to a folder.

We will have to do this once:

• Rename config.example.json to config.json, and fill in the values.
• Do npm i inside the folder, and wait for it to finish.

After all this, start the bot with npm run start.

⚠ Warning

There is literally no warranty if you self-host Countr, and we will not help you set it up either. If you wish to set the bot up yourself, we expect you have well enough knowledge in Node.js. We still recommend using the original bot.
