Self-hosting on Docker

Setup

1. Create your ./secrets.json file as described in selfhost setup

Running Niles on Docker

docker-compose

1. Create a folder on your local machine for Niles
2. Copy your secrets and service account files and/or oauth2 credentials to this folder as secrets.json, niles-sa.json and niles-oauth.json respectively
3. Start Niles with docker-compose up -d

docker command line

Assuming you are running from a directory with secrets.json, niles-sa.json and niles-oauth.json

docker run -d \
  --name Niles \
  -v ./secrets.json:/usr/src/niles/config/secrets.json \ 
  -v ./niles-sa.json:/usr/src/niles/config/niles-sa.json \
  -v ./niles-oauth.json:/usr/src/niles/config/niles-oauth.json \
  mchangrh/niles:latest

System Requirements

Recommended OS for just running docker is Alpine Linux or Flatcar Container Linux

One CPU core should be enough for bots serving under 10 Servers

Niles currently has a memory leak so 300MB will let the bot run for about 1 month without crashing
