Litecord

An open-source, (tries to be) functional implementation of a server that follows the Discord API.

This has real shitty code, good luck

With litecord you can run your own "Discord", locally, by yourself, but with limitations

  • You can't use the official discord client with it, use Atomic Discord instead.
  • Not very good code, expect the unexpected when running your server or accessing one.
  • Voice doesn't work nor is planned to be implemented into Litecord.
  • This is written in Python and it wasn't made to be resilient, don't DDoS a Litecord server
  • Ratelimits doesn't exist, yet.

Installation

Make sure you have MongoDB installed and running.

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/lnmds/litecord.git
cd litecord

# Create a virtual enviroment and install dependencies in it
# Make sure your python is 3.6+
python3 -m venv env/
env/bin/python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

# start the server
./run_litecord.sh

Usage

When you start litecord it will fire up 3 servers by the default configuration:

  • Websocket used by the gateway at :12000
  • Websocket used by the voice gateway at :6969
  • A HTTP at :8000

Updating

If you're braindead or smth

# pull
git pull
# profit

Restart the server to apply the changes. There isn't any way of hot reloading.

Folder structure

  • /litecord contains the actual litecord server code.
  • /utils has utilities to use within litecord code.
  • /docs has documentation on how the server actually does its stuff.
  • /boilerplate_data, read this
  • Depending on your installation, you might have a /env directory, DON'T MESS WITH IT., don't install other libraries unless otherwise specified(pls don't break your server instance).
