lightning looks for a config file passed with the --config flag or a config.ts file in the current directory. the api docs have a list of all the configuration options you can use. here's an example config file:

import { guilded_plugin } from 'https://williamhorning.eu.org/bolt/x/bolt-guilded/0.7.1/mod.ts';
import { revolt_plugin } from 'https://williamhorning.eu.org/bolt/x/bolt-revolt/0.7.1/mod.ts';
import type { config } from 'jsr:@jersey/lightning@0.7.1';

export default {
	cmd_prefix: 'l!',
	plugins: [
		guilded_plugin.new({
			token: 'nope',
		}),
		revolt_plugin.new({
			token: 'nope',
		}),
	],
	redis_host: 'localhost',
	redis_port: 6379,
} as config;

the current version of lightning uses redis for storing data, but the way that data is stored can change between versions. the lightning migrations command can let you migrate your data between versions. if you need help, file an issue or join one of the support servers

plugins allow you to extend bolt's functionality by supplying support for other platforms or by adding commands. to create a plugin, export an implementation of the `plugin` class. see the api docs for more

for production instances, you should use docker

1. install prerequisites:
   • deno ≥1.42.4
   • git
   • redis ≥6.2
2. clone the lightning repo
3. switch to a release branch (the latest is 0.7.1)
4. install the lightning cli
5. setup a config file
6. run your instance with lightning run

git clone https://github.com/williamhorning/lightning
cd lightning
git switch 0.6.0
deno install -A --unstable-temporal --name lightning ./cli.ts
lightning run

1. install prerequisites:
   • docker ≥20.10.21
   • docker compose ≥2
2. make a new folder on your server
3. setup a compose file with the following service:

   lightning:
   # use `build: .` instead of the line below when running from source
   image: williamfromnj/bolt:0.7.1
   volumes:
   	- ./config:/app/data
   restart: always

4. setup a config.ts file in the config folder
5. ensure that all needed ports are forwarded
6. use docker compose exec lightning ... instead of lightning ... when you need to use migrations
