The Amelia bot is already hosted publicly on our servers, as such, you can add it to your own discord server by inviting it from our website. Invite the bot now

How to install, self-hosting.

If you want to install this on your own server, first, create a Discord bot application on https://discordapp.com/developers, after which, you need to have a MongoDB server installed on either a Windows or a Ubuntu server, I will not go into detail over how to do this but if you need a good tutorial, then the official MongoDB website is the way to go.

Setting up Amelia Websocket.

Amelia Websocket, which is a new addition implemented on Amelia 2.0, is a separate process of Amelia which can be said as the heart or the brain of the Discord bot. The websocket handles the checking for updates on RSS Feeds and also Trending Notifications.

Installation of Amelia Websocket.

To install the websocket, you need to download the websocket jar from the releases page and then setup the following environment variables.

amelia_auth=AUTHENTICATION
amelia_db=mongodb://user:pass@ip:port
(OPTIONAL) amelia_websocket=ws://ip:3201/

After the environment variables are set, you can now start up the websocket with no configuration via: java -jar Amelia-Websocket.jar.

Setting up Amelia Client.

After the Websocket application is running, you can now start with the Client application.
