Whether you donate or star, we appreciate your support.

Installation

You are more than welcome to self-host the bot! Please be aware that no Premium features are included in the repo.

The only supported installation method for the bot is Docker. You may use other methods and tools to setup the bot locally, but I will only assist you with issues if you are using the supported method.

Prerequisites

  • Docker
  • Yarn

Setup

  1. Clone the repo
  2. In the config directory, duplicate the config.example.json and name it config.json
  3. Edit the file and fill in the values. Remove any comments
    • Any field with a default value does not have to be modified!
    • Only the bot and api sections are required; anything outside of those sections are optional
    • Obtain a bot token from here. You'll have to create a bot if you haven't already
  4. Repeat the same process as above for the ormconfig.example.json file
  5. Caopy and rename the docker.compose.yml.example file. You don't need to update any values, but I would suggest changing the environment variables.
  6. Run Docker Compose with the command docker-compose up
  7. Invite the bot to your server

Optional: Build the web interface with yarn web:prod or run it on a development server with yarn web:start

Updating the bot

When changes are made to the bot, you need to restart the Docker container for the changes to work.

  1. Kill the docker container by pressing Ctrl+C twice
  2. Pull the changes by running git pull if you haven't already
  3. Start the Docker container again using docker-compose up

Background

Nightwatch started as a tiny bot for a single Discord server. Over the years, it has transformed and scaled to work in any server. It has been through several rewrites, and has evolved in performance, functionality, and design.

Why was this bot created?

I created this bot to eliminate how many bots you use in your server. Having several bots makes your server look unprofessional and gives users the feeling that the bots are the only good thing about the server.

I wanted to make a bot that combines all the popular features from the other bots into a single bot. Bots should compliment your server, not control it.

Lastly, I wanted to introduce a bot that was professionally designed, using enterprise design patterns and a highly scalable architecture. Compared to other bots, Nightwatch is built for scale with industry standards to back its design. It was intended to be a commercial application, but was open sourced to show off its clean code and prove its abilities.

Contribute

Any developer is allowed to contribute. Fork the repo, make some changes (e.g. add features, fix bugs, etc.) and make a Pull Request to the develop branch. If approved, we will merge your changes, and you will be added as a contributor!

We are open for suggestions, and want the end-product to be awesome. If you have an idea, please share it.

Support

If there are any questions or issues, please make a ticket in GitHub and we will respond as soon as we can. https://github.com/Nightwatch/nightwatch/issues
