A Discord bot that automatically creates voice channels as they are needed.

• Public bot invite link
• Beta bot invite link
• Discord server
• Patreon

Requires:

• Python 3.7+
• discord.py (pip install discord.py)
• pytz (pip install pytz)
• psutil (pip install psutil)
• Requests (pip install requests)

Optional Extras:

• uvloop (pip install uvloop) - UNIX ONLY

Quick start:

On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

• Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/gregzaal/Auto-Voice-Channels.git
• Go to the directory: cd Auto-Voice-Channels
• Install pip: sudo apt-get -y install python3-pip
• Install venv: pip3 install virtualenv
• Make venv: python3 -m virtualenv bot-env
• Use venv: . bot-env/bin/activate
• Install requirements: python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
• Create your application + bot here: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications
• Enable both Presence and Server Members Privileged Gateway Intents in the Bot section.
• Create a config.json file in the Auto-Voice-Channels folder and fill it in:
  • admin_id is your personal user ID, for the bot to DM you errors and other important logs.
  • client_id is the bot application client ID.
  • log_timezone is for the time displayed in logs, see this list.
  • token is your bot's private token you can find here - do not share it with anyone else.
  • There are a number of optional settings too, which aren't necessary to set but provide some further configuration options if needed.
  • Your config.json file should look something like this:

{
    "admin_id":123456789012345678,
    "client_id":987654321098765432,
    "log_timezone":"Africa/Johannesburg",
    "token":"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXXXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}

• Invite the bot to your own server, replacing <YOUR BOT ID> with... your bot ID: https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<YOUR BOT ID>&permissions=286280784&scope=bot
• Start your bot: python3 auto-voice-channels.py

On Windows:

While this bot will work just fine on windows for development, the most likely reason you've scrolled here is because you want to run your bot on your home computer.

This is not recommended for two main reasons:

1. Your internet connection is probably less stable than you think, which means high & inconsistent latency with frequent disconnects of your bot.
2. Your bot would only be online while your computer is on, meaning no one could use it while you sleep - and if you're thinking about running your home computer 24/7, consider that you'll be spending a lot more on electricity than a simple hosted VPS or Raspberry Pi would cost you.

Our recommended solution for "free" hosting is to use the free credit provided by many of the cloud platforms (e.g. Google Cloud). Once the credit expires after a few months, if you're still using your bot regularly you probably won't mind paying $3-5 per month for a tiny VPS.

If you absolutely want to run this bot on windows (e.g. for development testing), simply follow the instructions for Linux above, and anywhere you need to use apt-get, just search up how to install that software on windows instead :)

Help:

For all issues and questions you have, first ask in our Support Server. 99% of questions have been asked before and already have a solution available. Read the FAQ, #status channel, and pinned messages.

If you're self-hosting and have an actual code bug to report, also first check in the Support Server for a solution and see if anyone else has the same problem. If someone can confirm your bug in their own self-hosted bot, then you may open an issue.
