Text-to-Speech for Discord

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 ~/deployments/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}
      DISCORD_PREFIX: $$
      DISCORD_OWNER_ID: ${DISCORD_OWNER_ID}
      DISCORD_DEFAULT_DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT: 10
      DISCORD_PROVIDER_TYPE: redis
      DISCORD_REDIS_URL: redis://redis:6379

  redis:
    image: redis:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    command: redis-server --save 60 1 --loglevel warning
    environment:
      TZ: America/Guayaquil

Secrets

Make sure to create a .env file with the following structure:

DISCORD_TOKEN=
DISCORD_OWNER_ID=

Running

Start up the service with:

docker compose up -d

That's it! The service will auto-start on system startup and restart on failure.
