This was a fun read. Being experienced in various methods of self hosting, it was cool to learn of coolify. Seeing more people get into self hosting always makes me happy.

Do you have a link to the bot?

I don’t sorry - I could clean up the repo and make it public. But if you follow the discord py tutorials it’s very simple to implement.

I’ll be honest, with respect to you, I expected you to answer this way and it almost made me angry at your blog post for existing.

Like you made this thing only for yourself and there’s no way for me to obtain it, paid or not.

There’s no real tutorial content on how I can do it myself.

So what value is the audience getting out of this article?

I realize I’m not owed anything but I hope you see what I mean here.

From the guidelines: “Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.”

I think this satisfies my intelectual curiosity.
