Hosting Discord.py and Pycord Bots on NodeFlux // NodeFlux Docs

Deploy asynchronous Python Discord bots using discord.py or Pycord with environment variable security. ## Steps 1. Create a main bot script (e.g., bot.py) using discord.ext.commands. 2. Load bot token securely: token = o NodeFlux documentation for free Minecraft, Node.js and application hosting.

Deploy asynchronous Python Discord bots using discord.py or Pycord with environment variable security. ## Steps 1. Create a main bot script (e.g., bot.py) using discord.ext.commands. 2. Load bot token securely: token = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN"). 3. Create requirements.txt file listing exact versions: discord.py>=2.3.0 or pycord. 4. Upload bot.py and requirements.txt to your NodeFlux Python service container via SFTP. 5. Add DISCORD_TOKEN in the service Environment Variables panel. 6. Set startup command to python bot.py. 7. Start service and inspect logs to confirm discord.gateway connection success. ## Notes - Always call asyncio-compatible code inside discord.py event handlers to prevent blocking the bot heartbeat. - Intents must be explicitly declared in bot code: intents = discord.Intents.default().
