Docker Deployment (Recommended)

TitanBot is fully containerized for easy deployment.

1. Clone the repository:

   Bash

   git clone https://github.com/codebymitch/TitanBot.git
   cd TitanBot
   

2. Configure environment variables: Create a .env file from .env.example and fill in your bot details and PostgreSQL credentials.

3. Start the containers:

   Bash

   docker-compose up -d
   

This will start both the bot and a persistent PostgreSQL database.

Using GitHub Container Registry

The bot is automatically published to GitHub Container Registry on every push to main.

docker pull ghcr.io/codebymitch/titanbot:main

Manual Installation Steps

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18.0.0 or higher
• PostgreSQL server (recommended) or memory storage fallback
• Discord bot application with proper intents

1. Clone the Repository

   Bash

   git clone https://github.com/codebymitch/TitanBot.git
   cd TitanBot
   

2. Install Dependencies

   Bash

   npm install
   

3. Configure Environment Variables

   Bash

   cp .env.example .env
   

   Edit .env with your configuration (only the following variables require configuration, leave remaining variables as default):

   Env

   # Discord Bot Configuration
   DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token_here
   CLIENT_ID=your_discord_client_id_here
   GUILD_ID=your_discord_guild_id_here
   
   # PostgreSQL Configuration (Primary Database)
   POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://postgres:yourpassword@localhost:5432/titanbot
   POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
   POSTGRES_PORT=5432
   POSTGRES_DB=titanbot
   POSTGRES_USER=postgres
   POSTGRES_PASSWORD=yourpassword
   

   Production note:

   • NODE_ENV=production
   • LOG_LEVEL=warn for a clean production console (critical issues + startup status)
   • LOG_LEVEL=info if you want more detailed operational logs
   • If your chosen PORT is already used, TitanBot automatically tries the next port(s)

   Environment options reference:

   • NODE_ENV: development, production, test (any non-production value is treated as non-production)
   • LOG_LEVEL: error, warn, info, http, verbose, debug, silly
   • Accepted aliases for LOG_LEVEL in this bot: warns, warning, warnings → warn

   Recommended production .env (easy mode + default mode):

   Env

   NODE_ENV=production
   LOG_LEVEL=warn
   WEB_HOST=0.0.0.0
   PORT=3000
   PORT_RETRY_ATTEMPTS=5
   

   This gives clear startup/online status messages while keeping logs simple for non-technical operators. If port 3000 is busy, the bot tries the next available ports automatically (up to PORT_RETRY_ATTEMPTS).

Running in multiple servers (optional)

Most users run TitanBot on a single server with GUILD_ID set (default tutorial setup). If you want commands to work in every server the bot is invited to, opt in with:

MULTI_GUILD=true

Notes for multi-server mode:

• GUILD_ID is not used for command registration when MULTI_GUILD=true (you can leave it set or remove it)
• Global slash commands may take up to about an hour to propagate on first deploy
• Each server still has isolated config, economy, tickets, leveling, and other data
• In the Discord Developer Portal, ensure your bot is not restricted to a single guild if you plan to invite it elsewhere
• Generate an OAuth2 invite URL from the Discord Developer Portal (OAuth2 → URL Generator, scopes: bot and applications.commands)

4. Setup PostgreSQL Database (Optional but recommended)

   Bash

   # Create database and user
   createdb titanbot
   createuser titanbot
   psql -c "ALTER USER titanbot PASSWORD 'yourpassword';"
   psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE titanbot TO titanbot;"
   

5. Verify Database Setup

   Bash

   npm run migrate:check
   

6. Start the Bot

   Bash

   npm start
