Running your own instance

You need:

• .NET 6 (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/)
• PostgreSQL (https://www.postgresql.org/)
• EF Core tools (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/get-started/overview/install#get-the-entity-framework-core-tools)
• A Discord bot token (https://discord.com/developers/applications)

Get your bot token and set up your database user and schema, then create a JSON file containing the following:

{
    "BotToken": "your bot token here",
    "SqlHost": "localhost", // optional
    "SqlDatabase": "worldtime", // optional
    "SqlUser": "worldtime", // required
    "SqlPassword": "mypassword" // required; no other authentication methods are currently supported
}

Then run the following commands:

$ dotnet restore
$ dotnet ef database update -- -c path/to/config.json

And finally, to run the bot:

$ dotnet run -c Release -- -c path/to/config.json
