A guide to help users deploy their first Discord bot on Witchly’s platform.
Step 1: Prepare Your Bot Code
Ensure your bot code is ready and configured with essential files like bot.js and package.json (for Node.js bots).
Step 2: Upload to Pterodactyl Panel
Upload your files to the Witchly control panel’s file manager. Use FTP if needed for easy file transfers.
Step 3: Set Environment Variables
Add your bot token in the environment variables section under “Settings.” This secures your bot token from being hardcoded.
Step 4: Start the Bot
Use the “Start” button in the control panel. Monitor the console to see if the bot successfully connects to Discord.
This setup guide ensures even beginners can deploy a bot in minutes.
