discord_selfbot

A personal-use Discord app created to replicate the useful functionality of ye selfbots of olde with official bot APIs.

Installation

Requirements

• Git
• Docker

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Kyza/discord_selfbot.git
cd discord_selfbot

Create a copy of the example.config.ron file and rename it to config.ron. Then edit it to your situation.

You'll need to create a bot on the Discord developer portal and get the token and application ID for it.

Make sure you enable the User Install installation context. It's also recommended that you disable Public Bot as well.

Use the Discord-provided installation link to install the bot on your account.

docker compose up

This might take a while the first time you run it.

Notes

By default the bot should send messages as non-ephemeral, but if you want to make it ephemeral you can use the ephemeral argument.

As long as you don't change any files you can use update_restart.cmd to pull the latest code and restart it.
