Once the server has been installed, you will need to configure it before it can run as expected.
On your server’s dashboard, go to the “Startup” tab. Here, you will find several settings that you can configure according to your specific needs. Below is a list of options available for your Discord Bot server in the “Startup” tab:
- STARTUP COMMAND and DOCKER IMAGE are read-only variables and cannot be modified.
Variables #
- BOT TOKEN. Place your discord bot token here. Go to the 3rd page of this manual for information on how to get this token.
- BOT PREFIX. This is the symbol used by your bot to trigger commands. Default is “!” but you can change this to whatever you prefer.
- [READ ONLY] PYTHON VERSION. The python version used for your Discord Bot.
Final Steps #
