Pre-requirements

This page describes the equipment you need to have to be able to run FoxCodeBot.

You will need:

Machine the bot can run on

The bot is self-hosted, meaning that you have to own a 24/7 running machine that the bot can utilize. Recommended minimum specs. are:

• 1 vCPU

• 256MB RAM

• OS compatible with Python 3 (3.8 or higher required) and following pip packages: discord.py, discord-ui , mysql-connector-python, pyyaml

MySQL Database

The bot uses MySQL database to store all of it's data.

You can try to use some "Discord bot hosting", but I would recommend renting some basic cheap VPS. You can also use it for other things like webhosting, databases, backups etc. I would recommend Hetzner Cloud VPSs, they are fast, have good specs for the price and from my experience are very stable, but it's up to you! :) The Linux installation tutorial will guide you through the installation on Hetzner Cloud platform, but it should be the same with other hosting providers.
