How to self-host any of the ModernBots

Don't want to deal with all the stuff here?

You have to have a VPS/Homelab/Raspberry Pi.
- It is highly reccomended to run a GNU/Linux distrobution. I will not provide any support for non-Linux solutions.
- If you do not have a VPS, Ploxhost 🇺🇸, HostKey 🇳🇱, Vultr 🌐, Cockbox 🇱🇹, and Hetzner 🇩🇪 are good options.
- I do not reccomend Raspberry Pis, but if you have one lying around, it's better than nothing.
- DO NOT use Repl.it or Heroku. They have extremely poor performance, and will probably fail at saving data in the database.
You have to have (very minimal) CLI and Linux knowledge

Download and install MongoDB
Download and install Python 3
- If you are running GNU/Linux, there's a very good chance Python is pre-installed, so don't worry about this

At this point in time, it's a good idea to open up the terminal (and ssh into your VPS if needed)!

Clone/download the repo of the bot you want to self host (either DropBot, ModernBot, or ContentBot)
- Many people think this is forking the repo, which isn't. DO NOT fork any of the repositories unless you plan on contributing code!
- To clone the repository with the CLI, type in git clone https://github.com/modernbots/BOTNAMEHERE and hit Enter, replacing BOTNAMEHERE with the name of the bot you want to self-host
cd into directory of the repo you cloned/downloaded
- I.e. type cd dropbot and hit Enter
Type python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt and hit Enter

Go to the Discord Developer Portal
- Sometimes it can be buggy and take you to the main Discord webapp. If this happens, just close the site and click the Discord Developer Portal link again.
Click the "New Application" button in the top-right
Give it a name (this will be the name of the bot, which you can change later), and click the "Create" button
(Optional) upload an image into the "APP ICON" section to give the bot a profile picture, and type in a bio into the "DESCRIPTION" section (this will appear in the bot's bio)
Open the side menu and click on "Bot"
- You may have to click the button at the top-left with the 3 lines in order to see the sidebar
Under "Build-A-Bot", click the "Add Bot" button, then click the "Yes, do it!" button
Turn the "PUBLIC BOT" switch OFF

If you are self-hosting ModBot, scroll down to Privileged Gateway Intents and turn ON "SERVER MEMBERS INTENT".

NEVER give this token to anyone else!

Back in the terminal, type echo "DISCORD=, paste the token you copied, " > .env and hit Enter
- It should look like echo "DISCORD=abcdefg" > .env
Type sed -i 's/"info", "tasks"]/]/ ./src/bot.py and hit Enter
Type python3 src/bot.py and hit Enter

To have the bot still running when you close the session, install and run tmux before running this command!

Go back to the Discord Developer Portal and open the app you created
Open the sidebar and click on "Oauth2", then click on "URL Generator"
Under "SCOPES", check the "bot" AND the "applications.commands" boxes
Under "GENERAL PERMISSIONS", check the "Administrator" box
Copy the URL at the bottom and open it in a new tab
Select your server from the dropdown, click the "Continue" button, click the "Authorize" button, and fill out the hCaptcha if needed
