Hey everyone, I'm Zach, the creator of the Doge Discord Bot. I've had fun creating it, but, unfortunately, due to Discord requiring identity verification via passport if your bot is in more than 100 servers (no thanks), the bot is unable to be added to new servers. So, I decided, why not open source it? Anybody can now take the code of the bot, put it on Replit, and host their own version for their private server.

But wait, what does this mean for the existing Doge bot?

The public Doge bot (Doge#4924, Discord User ID 741407517879304212) will continue to work as normal, and won't be affected by this change.

Guide to deploying your very own Doge bot

Step 1: Go to github.com/Zachinquarantine/doge-bot

Step 2: click on the green "Code" button as shown below, and click "Download ZIP"

Step 3: Go to Repl.it and create an account.

Step 4: Click "Create Repl", and under "templates", select Python.

Step 6: Select the doge folder, and upload it

From here, you can now follow this tutorial to learn how to create a Discord Bot app and keep it running 24/7 (ignore the parts about coding the bot, databases, and the web dashboard).

keep_alive.keep_alive()
client.run("bot_token_here")

Now, you're going to have to replace bot_token_here with your bot secret token in this code in main.py, which can be found in the Discord developer dashboard.

Enjoy, and happy Doge-ing!
