Ukulele

...and his music was electric.

Ukulele is a bot made by the creator and collaborators of FredBoat. The concept is to replicate FredBoat while keeping it simple. The original stack is engineered for serving millions of servers, and is thus too complex to selfhost.

The bot is self-contained and only requires Java 11 to run.

This is currently work-in-progress.

Features

• Basic player commands (::play, ::list, ::skip, ::shuffle)
• Volume command
• Zero-maintenance embedded database

Host it yourself

Manual

• Install Java 11
• Make a copy of ukulele.example.yml and rename it to ukulele.yml
• Input the bot token (guide)
• Run ./ukulele to build and run the application (Windows users use the .bat files via commandline)

Using Docker

Requirements

• Docker (Engine: 18.06.0+)
• Docker-Compose

Running

# Create DB directory and own it to 999
mkdir db && chown -R 999 db/

# Copy ukulele config file
cp ukulele.example.yml ukulele.yml
# Open ukulele.yml and make config changes

# Now simply run run docker-compose 
docker-compose up -d

To run the container in detached mode simply add -d to the arguments of the run command.
