About The Project

This project contains the source code for the Sheepstar Bot, a Discord bot that is used to create global channels. Learn more here.

Installation

To make this process easier, we decided to make a Docker Image. You can install it by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/SheepstarStudio/Bot.git
cd Bot
docker build -t sheepstar-bot .

After that, you can run the bot by running the following command:

docker run -d --name sheepstar-bot -v config.json:/data/config.json sheepstar-bot

You also need to create a config file. See the config.json.example file for an example. It contains information about the bot token and the database.
