Raspberry Pi hosting #186
-
|
Hey, Does anyone have any experience running this bot from a local raspberry pi? I've no experience with raspberry pi at all but I'm assuming I could install Ubuntu server and run it very similarly to how I'm currently running off AWS? Would a 2GB RAM model be enough? Thanks for any help! |

It shouldn't be too hard. I'm planning on upgrading my current raspberry pi and will host it there in the near future. However, you'd probably be better off with Raspberry Pi Lite instead of Ubuntu so you can just ssh in headless from a desktop. You'd just have to install node, npm, and git so you could clone it down from the repo and run it from the terminal. Don't forget to edit the .env file with Nano so you can add your bot token. 2GB should be fine, a discord bot takes up almost no resources which is why it's easy to host for free online with services like replit and uptimerobot. |
