Setting up NadekoBot on Docker

Nadeko is written in C# and Discord.Net for more information visit https://github.com/Kwoth/NadekoBot

Prerequisites

Setting up the container

For this guide we will be using the folder /nadeko as our config root folder.

docker create --name=nadeko -v /nadeko/conf/:/root/nadeko -v /nadeko/data:/opt/NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot/bin/Release/netcoreapp2.0/data uirel/nadeko:1.4

Moving `credentials.json` into the docker container.

If you are coming from a previous version of nadeko (the old docker) make sure your credentials.json has been copied into this directory and is the only thing in this folder.
If you are making a fresh install, create your credentials.json from the following guide and place it in the /nadeko folder Nadeko JSON Guide.
To copy the the file from your computer to a container:

docker cp /Directory/That/Contains/Your/credentials.json nadeko:/credentials.json

Start up docker

docker start nadeko; docker logs -f nadeko

The docker will start and the log file will start scrolling past. This may take a long time. The bot start can take up to 5 minutes on a small DigitalOcean droplet. Once the log ends with "NadekoBot | Starting NadekoBot vX.X" the bot is ready and can be invited to your server. Ctrl+C at this point if you would like to stop viewing the logs.

After a few moments, Nadeko should come online on your server. If it doesn't, check the log file for errors.

Monitoring

To monitor the logs of the container in realtime

docker logs -f nadeko

Updates

Manual

Updates are handled by pulling the new layer of the Docker Container which contains a pre compiled update to Nadeko. The following commands are required for the default options

docker pull uirel/nadeko:latest

docker stop nadeko; docker rm nadeko

docker create --name=nadeko -v /nadeko/conf/:/root/nadeko -v /nadeko/data:/opt/NadekoBot/src/NadekoBot/bin/Release/netcoreapp1.1/data uirel/nadeko:1.4

docker start nadeko

Automatic

Automatic update are handled by WatchTower. To setup WatchTower to keep Nadeko up-to-date for you with the default settings, use the following command:

docker run -d --name watchtower -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock centurylink/watchtower --cleanup nadeko --interval 300

This will check for updates to the docker every 5 minutes and update immediately. To check in different intervals, change X. X is the amount of time, in seconds. (e.g 21600 for 6 hours)

Additional Info

If you have any issues with the docker setup, please ask in #help channel on our Discord server but indicate you are using the docker.
