GenericMusicBot3

A simple discord music bot created for playing any content that yt-dlp can download, since no other mainstream bot can do it. It is intended to be deployed in ideally 10 Discord servers or less.

Deploying

There are two ways to deploy this bot, cloning the repo or with Docker. I recommend installing on Linux or using the Docker method since the sodium NPM package is hard to get installed on Windows.

Creating the bot

You first need to create a bot on the Discord developer portal.

1. Log in to the developer portal with your discord account
2. Click on New Application in the top right
3. Give your app a name (this is not your bot's name) and click create
4. Go to the OAuth2 tab on the left, the click on URL Generator
5. Select bot and application.commands
6. Scroll down and select Administrator
7. (OPTIONAL) If you don't want to give the bot admin permissions, you need to select the following options: Send Messages, Send Messages in Threads, Embed Links, Attach Files, Add Reactions, Connect, Speak and Use Voice Activity
8. Scroll to the bottom and copy the generated URL
9. Paste it into a new tab and invite the bot to the server you want
10. Go back to the developer portal and click on the Bot tab on the left
11. Click Reset Token and copy it, you will be needing it later
12. Select an install method and follow the instructions (recommended: Docker)

Docker

1. Make sure that Docker is installed on your system by running docker -v

Using prebuilt image

2. Set the DC_TOKEN enviornment variable to your token
3. If you are running for the first time you should set the DC_REGISTER enviornment variable to 1 to register the slash commands
4. Run the command and enjoy 😎

docker run -d --env DC_TOKEN=<Your token here> --env DC_REGISTER=1 ghcr.io/varma02/generic-music-bot3:latest

Building the image

2. Clone the repository on your system

git clone https://github.com/varma02/GenericMusicBot3.git

3. Build the Docker image (you have to be in the cloned directory)

docker build -t mybot .

4. Create and run the container (replace the token with yours)

docker run -d --env DC_TOKEN=<Your token here> --env DC_REGISTER=1 mybot

Linux

1. Install Node 19 or above (recommended via Node Version Manager)
2. Install yt-dlp and ffmpeg

Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 ffmpeg

CentOS/RHEL/Fedora:
sudo dnf install python3 ffmpeg

python3 -m pip install -U yt-dlp

3. Clone the repository on your system

git clone https://github.com/varma02/GenericMusicBot3.git

4. Create a .env and add your token
5. Run npm install to install dependencies
6. Run npm start
