Valheim Server Discord Bot

A Discord bot that uses the Portainer API to start and close the Valheim Server Docker container when needed.

This approach minimizes resource consumption since the valheim server docker image I use doesn't support auto pausing the server when there are no players on the server.

The bot registers 3 slash commands:

• /start
• /stop
• /status

TODO

• add multiple guilds command refresh
• helm chart release
• improve release workflow
• add back portainer support alongside kubernetes
• add odin support

How to run

With Kubernetes

TODO

With docker compose (⚠️ Currently not working)

1. Invite your bot on a server by using the OAuth2 URL Generator from here: https://discord.com/developers/applications
2. Copy .env.example to .env and update the variables with yours
3. Run docker compose up -d to start the bot

With Portainer (⚠️ Currently not working)

You can deploy this bot as a container in a stack alongside the Valheim Server.

1. Copy the service from the docker-compose.yaml file into your stack
2. Add environment variables to your stack to match what is required by the container
3. Redeploy your stack
