Logger Selfhosting Guide

FAQ

  • If you're selfhosting the bot, say so in #selfhosting-support so I can add you to the beta tester channel to get the newest updates
  • If you need help use: #selfhosting-support in the support server
  • The @Patron Logger#2596 bot's code is private, meaning none of the public code will have the premium features, you could add them yourself however.

FAQ

  • For who was using the exe selfhost bot and those who use the github version, you should do this:

  • exe: -> Download new zip and extract the new loggerv3-win exe over your current. -> Go to the discord developer applications page and flip the "Server Members" intent switch for your bot application & save.

  • GitHub: -> Checkout or merge into your branch the branch intents -> Go to the discord developer applications page and flip the "Server Members" intent switch for your bot application & save.

Selfhosting via exe OR GitHub will NOT give you patron features, you will have to add that yourself!

Getting Started

Don't want to do manual effort setting up the bot via source? Well then, this method is the way for you!

  • Download the proper zip for your operating system (will be updated below)
  • Extract all of the files in the zip to a folder together
  • Rename config.txt.example to config.txt
  • Fill out all values in the config.txt file
  • Run the executable
  • Navigate to http://localhost:8082/ in your browser
  • ??? Profit! That's it!

  • How to enable text commands for the bot -> Add the following to your .env file
ENABLE_TEXT_COMMANDS="true"

  • How to enable slash commands for the bot -> Follow the text commands steps then do the following command: <prefix>setcmd global (example: !setcmd global)

  • .env fields (BEZERK_URI and BEZERK_SECRET) are not required, leave them blank, like below.

BEZERK_URI=
BEZERK_SECRET=

You'll need PostgreSQL 11, Redis, NodeJS

  • Setup Postgres and add a superuser (default user works)
  • Clone the bot repo and enter the created folder (or use: git clone https://github.com/curtisf/logger)
  • If you clone it from github use: git checkout development (master is outdated)
  • Copy .env.example into .env
  • Fill out all fields in it (even Sentry unless you hotpatch it out)
  • Run npm i
  • Run node src/miscellaneous/generateDB.js
  • Run node index.js (This should start the bot)
