• If not downloading as zip, then youl need Git (for cloning the repository)
• Must have Docker. Download and install from Docker Desktop (for Windows).

Download the ZIP file and extract to your Documents folder.

Alternative:

git clone https://github.com/junder-git/app1_dockercompose_discordbot_quartmanager.git

Locate the .env.example file in the extracted directory and rename it .env then configure it as follows:

1. Visit Discord Developer Portal
2. Create a new application
3. Add the redirect url http://localhost/callback to the dev portal
4. Copy the OAuth2 Secret Key and Client Key to the .env file
5. Invite the bot to the server from discord dev portal with bot scope and admin permissions in the oauth2 section for guild install.

1. Visit YouTube Data API Portal
2. Create a new application.
3. Enable the youtube data v3 api for the project.
4. Create and copy the API key to the .env file

Note: You can ignore the 'redirect URL' environment variables if you only plan to use the Discord chat interface without the Flask webplayer.

Important: Add in the .env your own value for SECRET_KEY

Open Command Prompt (Win+R, type cmd) or PowerShell and navigate to the source directory:

cd C:/<YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_HERE>/Documents/app1_dockercompose_jbot_discordbot_quartmanager/jbot

Start the bot:

docker-compose up --build -d

Go to http://localhost for the webplayer and/or join a voice chat channel in discord, type jbot in any of the servers text channels to get the discord interface to pop up in there. I recommend doing this in a # bot-channel or some dedicated text channel.

Stop the bot:

docker-compose down -v

• Current Risk: Flask API endpoints are publicly accessible
• Issue: These endpoints could be used to manipulate queues on other servers without being in the voice channel
• Solution in Progress: Implement authentication for Flask endpoints while maintaining necessary accessibility
• Note: Discord API is only accessible within the Docker network, so it's protected

• Twitch bot integration with channel points for song requests
• Track and playlist looping functionality
• Quick access to popular playlists (up to 10 per server)
• Protection against large playlists (100+ tracks)
• Queue size limit of 50 tracks
• Make sure after clicking add to queue in the flask webplayer search it doesnt clear the search and let it add more to queue
• Keep the last input in the search query box

• Limit of one bot instance per Discord server for any number of voice channels it may have.

-Keep Playlist results until you submit a new search
-Keep the last input in the search bar
-Option to loop song or playlist
-Commmand to add first search result of a qry to the playlist
-Cache last 2 songs or so?
-Give option to go back?
