Help setting up & new hosting service?

[jordymackenz]

Hey Dave! Do you have a version of this bot that is up and running with all commands? I had a few working previously but was never able to get the newer versions working (I have 0 experience with coding) and now that Heroku is no longer free to host I've been trying to use Railway... but also not much luck there.

I was wondering if you could provide any guidance on where to host the bot for as cheap (or free) as possible and how I should go about actually implementing it into my Discord server from there? I know this is a passion project for you so totally get it if it's asking too much but thought it was worth a shot since I can't seem to figure it out myself - thanks! 😃

Hi @jordymackenz

I am currently running the 0.3.0-Beta branch on one of my Rasberry Pi's using docker. This branch is under active development so it's not the most stable but it does contain a few fixes for leagues using category scoring instead of points. If you're currently running a category league that is the branch I would go with.

As far as cheap hosting solutions most of the big-name providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) do offer a free tier to get started that you could look into, and while Heroku is no longer free, it is on the cheaper side.

Eventually, I want to get this bot to a state where it can service multiple discord guilds/leagues at once however I do not have a target version for that yet.
