Config option to boot bot without database about aquarius HOT 13 CLOSED

There are some commands that need it (like Seen) - I thought in theory you can enable them on the developer portal and don't need to apply for them until you hit 100 servers, but maybe that isn't true. You could try removing them and see what happens here:

https://github.com/IanMitchell/aquarius/blob/main/packages/aquarius/src/aquarius.js#L49

Just remove the line and see what happens!

I'm not an admin, but I do work for Discord now!

Instead of booting without a database, I think I'd recommend trying out SQLite first - this might work well enough for you. https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/database-connectors/sqlite

This is a much simpler setup than postgresql, and if you aren't scaling outside of your personal server it should be good enough. Just change the datasource in the prisma/schema file to match the one in the docs there, and I think it should work!

Helpful insight. I'll take a shot at this.

is the bot hosted on your computer or a proper server?
are you on the support team or a developer that does coding?
it feels really honourable that a discord admin responded to me.

I'm on the Bots and API team now, so I get to work on the stuff that Aquarius actually ends up using which is pretty neat 😁.

I host the bot on Digital Ocean - I have a Kubernetes instance there and run the bot on the droplet it comes with

the bot has been running ok for the past 5 months. i joined the developer server a week ago and according to a user named advaith, you need to apply for certain intents as well as having a valid use case. i wasn't able to start up the bot without enabling both privileged intents, could you share the bots use case for the intents?

this is true, you don't need to apply for them if the bot isn't verified; either there was some miscommunication or assumption, or they said the bot is verified

is adding user-account support to run the bot on the roadmap any time soon? this would heavily streamline the process and would not require us to fiddle with intents.

Discord doesn't allow automating user accounts

@advaith1 discords' stance in 2016-2017 was 'do it at your own risk; if it breaks we won't help nor will we ban you for it'

from aquarius.

It's since changed, and no longer allowed - definitely will not be adding support to the bot for it

from aquarius.

@advaith1 will you be making a 'using buttons in discord-js guide' would love to see one so I can make a pull-request to add them into Aquarius.

@advaith1 hewow?

advaith doesn't have anything to do with this project - let's avoid pinging him 😄. Especially with such a short timeframe between comments!

Discord.js doesn't currently support buttons, so I don't think it will be added anytime soon. Going to close out this issue too since we figured out the database config problem!
