This is a simple TTS Bot that uses the Google Translate TTS API. With this bot you can send Text-to-Speech messages in multiple languages using Google Translate or other TTS engines.

To self-host this bot you'll need the following:

• git
• node.js (Version 12.0.0 or higher)
• ffmpeg

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-tts-bot.git

Install the dependencies with:

npm ci --only=prod

Or, if you want to also install the devDependencies:

npm install

After you have configured the bot, you can run it with:

npm start

Inside the config folder, rename the file settings.json.example to settings.json and edit the file with your own Discord Token and other settings. If you don't have a discord token yet, you can see a guide on how to create it here.

Your file should look like this.

{
  "token": "YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN",
  "prefix": "$",
  "owner_id": "123123123",
  "owner_reporting": false,
  "presence_refresh_interval": 600000,
  "disconnect_timeout": 300000
}

You may also configure these options with environment variables. The settings set with the environment variables will take higher precedence than the ones in the config JSON file.

This table contains all the configuration settings you may specify with both environment variables and the JSON config file.

You can start a container with the bot's image by running:

docker run -it -e DISCORD_TOKEN="YOUR DISCORD TOKEN" moonstarx/discord-tts-bot:latest

Check configuration to see which environment variables you can use.

The following volumes can be used:

• opt/app/config: The config folder for the bot, here you can use the settings.json file to configure the bot if you don't want to use environment variables.
