Apollo is an all in one solution for managing everything event related right within Discord.
Apollo is an open source project; pull requests are encouraged and welcome.
If you are considering contributing to the project, feel free to contact Asal on the Apollo Discord server. There is also a Trello board which outlines current and future work.
The only real requirement is to get Docker Compose up and running.
Once that's done, we can build our image from the root directory of Apollo with:
docker-compose build
Before we can run the application, we'll need to ensure that our environment variables are set up. Make a copy of .env.example as .env in the root directory of Apollo.
If using Docker, the only thing you'll need to provide here is your BOT_TOKEN. You can get one of these by heading over
to the Discord developer portal and creating a new application.
Now that our credentials are set, we can start the application.
# Start the database as a background process
docker-compose up -d db
# Create database tables (only needs to be run once)
docker-compose run app pipenv run python bin/setup_db.py
# Run migrations (if necessary)
docker-compose run app pipenv run alembic upgrade head
docker-compose up app
With each code change, we'll need to rebuild our image.
- Stop the server
- Rebuild the image:
docker-compose build - Restart the server:
docker-compose run app
We can invite the bot to a server by visiting the link below (subsitute CLIENT_ID with your bot's client ID).
