Discord.js is a powerful module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. This is the most bare-bones example of Discord.js bot running on Zerops Bun runtime with a single ping command running.
You can either click the deploy button to deploy directly on Zerops, or manually copy the import yaml to the import dialog in the Zerops app.
Warning
You'll encounter some runtime errors if DISCORD_CLIENT_ID and DISCORD_TOKEN are not set in the environment variables.
Latest version of Discord.js running on a load balanced Zerops Bun service.
Click here to test Discord bot on every available runtime examples.
The steps mentioned here are to be followed after deploying the app and will guide you on how to obtain the two required environment variables to run your Discord.js Bot.
- Go to the Discord Application Portal. Create an application if you do not have one already.
- Copy the application ID from the General Information section (sidebar). This will be used for
DISCORD_CLIENT_ID. - Go to the Bot section (sidebar), reset the token, and copy the token. This will be used for
DISCORD_TOKEN.
Now you have both environment variables.
- Head to your service. If you have full mode, check your sidebar and click on Environment Variables. On that page, you will see an "edit multiple secret variables in .env format" button. Click on it, paste your environment variables in the format shown below, and click on Update Secret Variables. You will then see a button to commit your changes.
# Note: These Environment Variables are already invalidated.
DISCORD_TOKEN=1226434606118965270 # Your token copied from the bot section
DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=MTIyNjQ3NDYwNjExODk2NTI3MA.GtSgOF.W7wLWibfGtP2tobLv_DsbFKdjlGmOwzxliTejI # Your application ID copied from the General Information sectionThis recipe is ready for production as is, and will scale horizontally by adding more containers in case of high traffic surges. If you want to achieve the highest baseline reliability and resiliace, start with at least two containers (add minContainers: 2 in recipe YAML in the bot service section, or change the minimum containers in "Automatic Scaling configuration" section of service detail).
If you want to modify your existing Discord.js bot to efficiently run on Zerops, there are no changes needed in the codebase on top of the standard installation, just add zerops.yml to your repository and setup environment variables.
