Text-to-Speech¶

discord-tts-bot is a bot that uses the Google Translate API to utter the messages you send to the bot in any language.

There is an official image for this service that we'll use: moonstarx/discord-tts-bot.

Pre-Installation¶

We'll create a folder in the main user's home where all the service's data will be saved.

mkdir ~/services/discord/discord-tts-bot

Docker Compose¶

Text-to-Speech will be run using Docker Compose. The content of the docker-compose.yml file is as follows:

services:
  bot:
    image: moonstarx/discord-tts-bot:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - redis
    volumes:
      - ./data:/opt/app/data
    environment:
      TZ: America/Guayaquil
      DISCORD_TOKEN: DISCORD_TOKEN_HERE

Make sure to change DISCORD_TOKEN_HERE to your bot's Discord token.
