Docker

If you are using Docker, you can use these commands to build and start your Plex bot (after downloading the source code and set the config file) :

go to your plex bot folder (cd your/plex/bot/folder)

docker build -t image/plexbot .

docker run -p 32400 -d --name plexbot image/plexbot

wait a few seconds and your bot should join your server and be active. You can use docker logs plexbot to see the log of the bot (use docker logs -f plexbot if you want realtime log).

Note : you may need the sudo command/admin access depending of your user right.

Usage

1. Join a Discord voice channel.
2. Upon playing a song, the bot will join your channel and play your desired song.
