Installation

Configuration

Firstly, it is necessary to update the environment and application files respectively.

$ cp .env_sample .env && cp application_sample.yaml application.yaml

After copying over the sample files, set their values accordingly.

Execution

There are two methods of running the bot, Docker (Recommended) or Manual. Utilizing the docker method is recommended, as the docker-compose will automatically create a self-hosted Lavalink instance.

Docker

When using this method, be sure to set the following values within .env:

...
LAVALINK_SERVER = localhost
LAVALINK_PORT = 2333
...

Build image and run as daemon:

$ docker compose up -d

If any changes are made to the environment file, the docker compose will need to be stopped, rebuilt, and started again:

$ docker compose down
$ docker compose build
$ docker compose up -d

Manual

Poetry is recommended to be used with Python version 3.10.

Setup virtual env

Install Poetry:
```
$ pip3 install -U poetry
```
Initialize Poetry:
```
$ poetry init
