idk's Introduction

Hosting your repl based discord.py bot on Heroku to keep it running INDEFINETLY

Join Discord

Prerequisites

You must have an account for Discord, GitHub , Heroku, and Repl.it (you probably have an account already).

1. Create a bot and get its token

  • Create an application in the developer portal here
  • Open up your new application and click 'Add Bot' under the Bot settings to create your bot.
  • After creating the bot, click the 'Copy' button under the title Token. Take note of your token as you will need it later.

2. Create a new repository from this one

3. Set up Heroku

  • Create an application for Heroku here.
  • Under 'Deploy', do the following:
    • Deployment Method => Connect your GitHub
    • App connected to GitHub => Search for the forked repository
    • Automatic Deploy => Enable Automatic Deploy (to redeploy after every commit)
  • Under 'Settings', click on 'Reveal Config Vars' and enter the following:
    • KEY => DISCORD_TOKEN
    • VALUE => (Enter the bot token that you copied from the developer portal)
    • Click the 'Add' button after entering all of this information.
  • Under 'Resources', do the following:
    • Click on the 'Pencil' icon.
    • Switch the worker from off to on.
    • Click 'Confirm' to finalize the decision.
    • NOTE: You are given 550 free Dyno hours, which will not last the entire month. However, if you provide a credit card to verify your identity, you are given an additional 450 hours, which will allow your bot to run indefinitely. You will not be charged for this.

What's next?

  • Now you can tweak the main.py file as you please! just don't mess with the first 5 or last 2 lines (you can change the prefix in line 4 though.)
  • You can change the @app.route stiff in server.py
  • You can also change base.html and index.html without changing the stuff inside {% %} or {}, and you are able to change the css and js files freely
  • Don't change the rest of the files or the name of any file or folder unless you know what you're doing
  • Don't under any circumstances rename the "static" and "templates" folders

Original code belongs to audieni. I just made it more suitable for repl.it bot creators. Visit his repository here

I forked from his though IDK why it doesnt say
