Bonus for Linux users

One of the way to run bot in the background of the OS. (It's written by Ubuntu 20.04 user.)

1. Clone the repo in to /var directory.
2. Create www user with correct permissions to read and execute existing files and create files in files and config directories.
3. Create a service config file /etc/systemd/system/discordbot.service, with that content:

[Unit]
Description=Discord BOT service
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
User=www
WorkingDirectory=/var/Collector_bot
ExecStart=python3 /var/Collector_bot/main.py
SyslogIdentifier=DiscorBOT

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

4. Run commands:

sudo systemctl enable discordbot.service
sudo systemctl start discordbot.service
sudo systemctl status discordbot.service

5. And if you want to stop the bot:

sudo systemctl stop discordbot.service
