💡 docker and docker-compose should already be installed to continue. You should also have a discord account and discord server ready to go!

Creating a bot

Head over to Discord’s Developer Portal. Under the Applications tab, click the “New Applications” button next to your profile photo.

Then, enter in your bot name and any additional general information you want to.

Obtaining your bot token

Now, navigate to the “Bot” tab on the left side of your screen in the menu.

In the Bot screen under “Build a bot”, click the add bot button.

And then confirm by clicking “Yes, do it!”

Now, you can obtain your token for the docker portion!

Note: before running the container, make sure these settings under the bot tab are selected! It won’t work without it.

Running the container

Run the docker-compose up -d and you should see this message:
