You have a bot written in Python & Discord.py, but you don't know how to host it? Well then, this video is for you.
In this video, I show you how you can host your Discord.py bot on any VPS running Ubuntu or Debian-based operating systems. I show you how you can SSH into it, transfer your bot's code to the VPS and how to keep it alive 24/7.
Note: You need to have a VPS already and know it's login credentials (e.g username, password, IP, etc).

awesome video, i just bought a vps so this helps a lot. is there no need for a ssh key?

@devguyahnaf 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on your hosting service. Some VPS services use SSH keys, some use plain passwords. In terms of security, I would recommend SSH keys because even if someone knows your password, they can't log in without having the SSH key file. My VPS service used plain passwords, but I set up my own SSH keys so that others cannot log into my VPS

My bot starts with command python -m bot, how to make it run in pm2?

@devguyahnaf 2 жыл бұрын

-m bot is basically running the __main__.py file in the bot folder. So you could just do pm2 run bot/__main__.py --interpreter=python3

@devguyahnaf 3 жыл бұрын

sudo apt is for the Linux VPS. Isn't your VPS running Ubuntu Linux or something? sudo should be a command that's on all linux distros. But apt is only on Ubuntu or Debian. If apt is the one not working, just use the package manager for the distro that you are using

@emantbr5866 Жыл бұрын

Good tutorial, is it possible to run multiple bots with pm2?

@devguyahnaf Жыл бұрын

Of course. PM2 is just a process manager, it will manage all the processes you throw at it

will this work on a Raspberry pi 4 running Ubuntu server 22.04? And will it continue after i close the ssh connection?

@devguyahnaf Жыл бұрын

If you use PM2, it should keep it running in the background. Also, an RPI 4 has enough resources to run a bot, only on a single or a few shards though
