Want to self-host?
Guava is built on Python and requires a Lavalink node running release v4 or higher with the LavaSrc plugin. If you would like to configure Guava and run it on your own, follow the steps below.
P.S. Some information on starting your own lavalink node can be found here
On first run you will likely get a critical warning in your console, don't worry, this is expected. It will automatically create a config.ini file for you in the root of the directory with all of the necessary configuration options.
Fill out the configuration options, then re-run the bot, and everything should just work. For information on each configuration option, look below.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| TOKEN | The token for your bot. Create a bot at discord.com/developers |
| BOT_COLOR | Hex color code that will be used for the color of message embeds |
| HOST | Host address for your Lavalink node |
| PORT | Port for your Lavalink node |
| PASSWORD | Password to authenticate into the Lavalink node |
Lavalink Information
As previously state, a Lavalink node running at least v4 with the LavaSrc plugin is required. Due to the plugin requirement, it is unlikely that you will be able to use a free/public Lavalink node.
For instructions on setting up a Lavalink node, look here, and for instructions on the LavaSrc plugin, look here.
P.S. Only the Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube sources/search providers are needed.
It is also highly recommended to setup IPv6 rotation in order to avoid blocks and other issues. There are helpful guides for this both here and here.
An example of my personal application.yml file can be found here.
