Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and specifies the MIT license. The documented deployment path is self-hosted and requires a Discord bot token and PostgreSQL database.

  • Public channels allow only the !send command; the README says all commands are available in private direct messages with the bot.
  • The bot stores Discord ID-to-public-key mappings in a persistent database.
  • The README says wallet private keys are held in memory while a user is logged in.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Set up a local Solbot instance

Prepare and start Solbot locally using the documented PostgreSQL, Discord token and Node.js steps.

Before you start

  • A local PostgreSQL database

Steps

  1. Create a Discord application and bot in the Discord Developer Portal, then add the bot to your server.

  2. Start a local PostgreSQL database for public-key storage.

  3. Create src/secret/.env with DISCORD_TOKEN= and keep the file out of version control.

  4. Run the command below, then the command below, followed by the command below.

    Documented command
    npm install
    Documented command
    npm run migrate
    Documented command
