Deploy NodeJS app on Qovery

Puneet Gopinath — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 03:31:24 +0000

Before you begin, this page assumes the following:

You have installed nodejs on your system

Make your NodeJS app

Make your nodejs app first, if you already have, try test them locally once.

Here's a simply website coded with express for example:

const express = require("express");
const app = express();
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
    res.send("Hello");
});
const port = 8080;
app.listen(port, () => {
    console.log(`Site running on port ${port}`);
});

Make a package.json

Easily make a package.json by using the npm --init or yarn init terminal command

After that's done, you need to add all packages which you use in the package.json by using the npm install --save <package name> or yarn add <package name> command

Add a Dockerfile

You need a valid Dockerfile to run your nodejs app in qovery. If you are not familiar with Docker, you can take a look to this article. Here is the content of our Dockerfile.

FROM node:16
RUN mkdir -p /src/user/app
WORKDIR /src/user/app
COPY . .
RUN npm install --production
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["npm", "start"]

A small note: this Dockerfile installs node v16, change FROM node:16 to FROM node:<version> where <version> is the major version of node you want to install

Sign up into Qovery

Now, you need to sign up or sign in on Qovery.

Deploy our NodeJS app

Creating a project myapp.

Creating an environment main.

Creating an app by selecting your nodejs app repository, build mode > Dockerfile, and the port 8080 (not required if you are not hosting a website, for the current example it is required).

And deploy! That's it 🔥... nothing more. Our NodeJS app is ready.

Best 5 Discord Moderation bots

Puneet Gopinath — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 01:27:53 +0000

If you have a Discord server, then you need a moderation bot to keep that server running. Discord moderation bots help organize your server, and work as a Discord anti spam bot for troublemakers. If you want to keep your server safe without working as a Discord moderator, then you add a moderator bot.

Of course, there are many different Moderation bots available with different features and strengths. The better anti spam bot for one server may not be the best for another. As such, we have compiled a list of the 5 best Discord moderator bots. Read on to compare the bots and determine which Discord moderator will work best for your server.

Best Discord Moderation Bots

1. Dyno

Dyno is a popular moderation bot used on more than 800,000 servers. It has 35 different moderation bot commands that let it warn, mute, deafen, kick, and ban members. It can also work as a role bot to assign roles to users who cause trouble and limit their activities. After banning a user, Dyno can also save their chat messages instead of letting Discord auto-delete them.

For all of these actions, Dyno records them in their moderation log, which admins and human mods can access and make notes in. Finally, the Dyno Discord bot can lock a channel for a given amount of time, giving admins the chance to clean up the channel or discipline multiple users.

2. Axiol

Axiol is good enough to moderate your server. It has commands like warn, ban, unban, warn, removewarn, purge and many other. Though axiol isn't in many servers. I have found it as 1 of best Moderation bots. It has features like Automod, Chatbot, Fun, Giveaway, Karma, Moderation, Reaction Roles, Verification, Welcome. It's is 100% free and also opensource

3. Arcane

Arcane is Already trusted and used in over half a million unique servers, Nearly everything is free, An easy to use dashboard, Reliable/high uptime. It do has features like Leveling, Moderation, Reaction roles, Logging. So it does has less features compared to Axiol. But it I love the Logging or ModLog feature which it has.

4. ProBot

Wow, probot has a lot of features than those bots above. Why did I list it below? Yes, I listed it below because lot of things is paid. ProBot can also be used to play music, auto-assign roles, and assign XP to members. It offers two paid plans–prime and premium. Prime lets you adjust your music volume, unban all banned users at once, and implement more advanced anti-raid features. Prime costs $2.50/month or $24.99/year. Premium includes the above features while also letting you change the name and avatar of your server’s ProBot. It costs $9.99/mo or $79.99/yr.

5. Welcome-Bot

Welcome-Bot already is in more than 1000 servers and has cool features like Moderation, ModLog, Economy, Welcome & Goodbye logs, Fun, Music. And is also 100% free and opensource. Why does it come in the last? Cuz it's my bot 😂

So the very first thing to do is go to your GitHub page and click on the ‘+’ symbol on the top right corner and click on new repository.

The next step is to enter the repository name. The repository name should be the same as your GitHub username. As you type the repository name, you will see a box that pops below your repository saying that this is a secret feature.

Next, make sure that the repository is public and Add a README file checkbox is checked.

Now click on the Create Repository button.

The README.md file of this repository becomes your profile readme. You can edit this in markdown format and decorate your readme however you want.

It is often seen that people also add workflows to automatically update their readme file continuously.
