Self-hosted

Reddit-Discord-Bot is now super easy to self-host. You can either use the docker image or build a binary yourself.

Before you can run the bot you need to create a config file. You can find an example here

You also need a discord bot token, which you can get from here.

Lastly you need to create a reddit app which can be done here.

The bot requires a database, which can either be SQLite or PostgreSQL. Just select the one you want to use in the config file.

Binary

Prerequisites:

• Go
• Git
• PostgreSQL (optional)

$ git clone git@github.com:topi314/Reddit-Discord-Bot.git
$ cd Reddit-Discord-Bot
$ go build -o reddit-discord-bot .

You can now run the bot with

$ ./reddit-discord-bot -config config.yml

Docker-Compose

Docker-Compose is the easiest way to run the bot and is also the way I recommend.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker-Compose
• PostgreSQL (optional)

Setup

Create a docker-compose.yml file and paste the following into it

version: "3.8"

services:
  reddit-bot:
    image: ghcr.io/topi314/reddit-discord-bot:v2
    container_name: reddit-bot
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./config.yml:/var/lib/reddit-discord-bot/config.yml
      - ./database.db:/var/lib/reddit-discord-bot/database.db

Configuration

Create a config.yml file and paste this into it.

Fill in the required fields, and you are good to go!

Also create a database.db file if you want to use SQLite.

$ docker-compose up -d
