Self-hosting

Simply install Python >= 3.10, clone the repository, and run pip install -r requirements.txt.

Be sure to have a database set up using MySQL.

Then, create a override.config.yml file containing the following:

token: <your_personal_token>
dev_guild: <your_personnal_guild_id> # for dev commands

database:
  host: <your_database_host>
  driver: <your_database_driver>
  database: <your_database_name>
  user: <your_database_user>
  password: <your_database_password>
  port: <your_database_port>

You can also override any other config value from config.yml in this file. You might also want to modify other configuration options. More information about how to do it on discore.

Now, initialize the database by running masonite-orm migrate -C database/config.py -d database/migrations.

Finally, run python main.py.
