How?

  1. Create a new Discord application at Discord's developer portal.
  2. Create a bot user for your application and get the bot token (not the client secret).
  3. Create an OAuth URL for your bot with scope as "bot" and voice-related permissions. (Redirect URL is not necessary)
  4. Enable "Developer Mode" in Appearance settings in the Discord application. Right click on the voice channel you want the bot to join and copy its channel ID.
  5. Edit config.py. DISCORD_KEY is the bot token and DISCORD_CHANNEL is the channel ID.
  6. Clone this repository.
  7. Run: docker built -t musicbot . from inside this repository.
  8. docker run musicbot will start your bot.
  9. You can use the -d option on docker run to make it run as a background process.
