DisJockey is a web application and Discord Bot, intended to play and track music that is played on a Discord server. It is build using .NET 8 Web API, Angular 11 and the Bot uses Discord.NET and Lavalink4Net. It uses MassTransit for API to Bot communication, so they remain large decoupled. This allows the bot to be self hosted whilst the API can run publicly in the cloud.
I used the following repositories as a guide for my work so far, thanks to the authors of them:
Eliza: https://github.com/Pheubel/Eliza
StreamMusicBot: https://github.com/DraxCodes/StreamMusicBot
First, setup a google cloud application with access to the YouTube API, which is used to grab video details on track play.
You'll also need access to a LavaLink server (https://github.com/lavalink-devs/Lavalink). You can host one on your local machine using the latest jar files, or run it Docker Container.
I've included a skeleton appsettings.json file in the root of the repo, you'll need to populate each of the empty properties with corresponding values and put it in the API folder.
Next, create a discord application at https://discord.com/developers/applications. Copy the Client Id and Client Secret values in the corresponding properties in appsettings of the API project. For the bot, copy the bot token to your user secrets in the bot project in the format "BotSettings:BotToken": "{TOKEN}"., or appsettings in a similar way. Finally, you need to add {Application Hostname}/signin-discord to the redirect URLs for your Discord Application, which is to ensure Discord Auth is successful.
DisJockey relies on docker extensively to run the required services. You can launch the app using docker compose (docker compose up). By default, this will launch the API (which also hosts the Angular client), the Bot, a Sql Server instance and RabbitMq. If you'd prefer to run SQL server on the host, simply comment out the mssql service in docker-compose.override.yml and update the DefaultConnection connection string in appsettings.json.
To make changes to Angular, you'll need to run ng build inside the client folder, as the API needs to serve static HTML files for Discord Authentication to work. You can use the argument --watch to automatically build the Angular solution when you make changes to it. Alternatively, I've added an npm command to package.json, which you can run by calling npm run build. Make sure you run this before launching docker compose, although I've added a mount to wwwroot so any changes will be picked up automatically, even when the app is running.
The project is in a rebuild stage after extensive refactoring and decoupling of the bot from the API, so can be unstable. Please raise an issue if you have any questions, and I will try to get back to you.
