Hosting 0.7.x

The recommended way to host Lightning 0.7.x is to use Docker and Docker Compose. This allows you to use containers and run it more easily using container management software.

Setting up the container and database

In a compose.yml file, add the following snippet:

services:
  redis:
    image: redis/redis-stack-server:7.2.0-v10
    ulimits:
      memlock: -1
    ports:
      - 6379:6379
    volumes:
      - ./redis:/data
    restart: always
  lightning:
    image: williamfromnj/bolt:0.7.4
    depends_on:
      - redis
    restart: on-failure
    entrypoint: lightning
    command: run --config=file:///app/data/config.ts
    volumes:
      - ./config:/app/data

Note that you will need to make the config folder adjacent to the composefile and place the config.ts file inside.

Configuring the bot

The config.ts is where you setup plugins for the bot. You’ll probably not want all these plugins, so you can remove what you want to

import type { config } from "jsr:@jersey/lightning@0.7.4";
import { discord_plugin } from "jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-discord@0.7.4";
import { guilded_plugin } from "jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-guilded@0.7.4";
import { revolt_plugin } from "jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-revolt@0.7.4";
import { telegram_plugin } from "jsr:@jersey/lightning-plugin-telegram@0.7.4";

export default {
  cmd_prefix: `!`,
  plugins: [
    discord_plugin.new({
      slash_cmds: true,
      app_id: "YOUR APP ID",
      token: "YOUR BOT TOKEN"
    }),
  guilded_plugin.new({
    token: "YOUR BOT TOKEN"
  }),
    revolt_plugin.new({
      token: "YOUR BOT TOKEN",
      user_id: "YOUR BOT'S USER ID"
    }),
  telegram_plugin.new({
    bot_token: "YOUR BOT TOKEN",
    plugin_port: 8080,
    plugin_url: "https://example.com:8080"
  ],
  redis_host: "redis",
  redis_port: 6379
} as config.

Running lightning

Use docker compose up -d lightning to run lightning
