FredBoat Improved Edition

FredBoat Improved Edition is the Discord music bot that is arguably 400% as good as any other bot, given that it can play 400% as much music as other bots using our new advanced audio mixing technology (which I totally didn't copy from GitHub).

I'm brave enough to selfhost this thing

(We'll see about that.)

Requirements:

• You'll need JDK 11 to compile this thing.
• We use a native audio sender to escape the evil grasp of the garbage collector. This might not work on certain systems due to missing binaries, though I believe x86_64 Linux and Windows should be fine.

Compile the thing

Clone this repository and enter its directory with your terminal, then run this command:

./gradlew shadowJar

Or gradlew.bat shadowJar if you use Windows

Now watch as Gradle downloads itself and automagically teleports all dependencies to your device. A standalone executable jar will appear at build/libs/fip-1.0.jar

Run the thing

The bot token is read from the DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable. There are no other configuration options. Run it like this:

DISCORD_TOKEN="NTkzMTMz..." java -jar fip-1.0.jar
