A 24/7 music bot for Discord that pauses when nobody is listening.
To self-host this bot, you'll need the following:
- git
- node.js (Version 12 or higher is required.)
- ffmpeg
- A C/C++ compiler installed (Required to install
@discordjs/opus.)
ffmpeg should be installed by default on Linux and MacOS, in case it isn't, install it with your package manager. For Windows users, head over to ffmpeg's official website to download the binary which will need to be added to your $PATH. If you don't know how to add folders to your $PATH, check out this guide.
In order to self-host this bot, first you'll need to clone this repository.
git clone https://github.com/moonstar-x/discord-music-24-7.git
Then, inside the config folder, rename the file settings.json.example to settings.json and edit the file with your own Discord Token, your Soundcloud Client ID (if you wish to use Soundcloud), the ID of the channel where the music should be played and finally, whether you want the music queue to be shuffled on bot startup.
- To see how to find these IDs, you can check out this guide.
- If you don't have a Discord token yet, you can see a guide on how to get one here.
- If you don't know how to acquire your Soundcloud Client ID, check out this guide.
Your file should look like this:
{
"discord_token": "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN_HERE",
"soundcloud_client_id": "YOUR_SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_ID",
"channel_id": "1234567890",
"shuffle": true
}Install the dependencies:
npm install
You can now run your bot:
npm start
The bot will automatically start playing music in the configured channel, it will also automatically pause when nobody is listening to the music to save bandwidth.
The music that is played is stored in the queue.txt inside the data folder. You can add the music you want the bot to play in this file. Any links must begin with https://, YouTube links must be from youtube.com and not from youtu.be.
This bot is designed to work only on one server at a time. Inviting your bot to multiple servers will yield unexpected behavior.
