Vencord API

The API has a Docker Compose configuration, so software-wise you shouldn't need much more than just Docker. Docker is the official way of hosting the backend, and other setups (whilst technically supported) will be up to you to manage.

1. Clone the repository
2. Copy .env.example to .env
3. Configure as necessary

• Port and host are irrelevant since it's running in a container, but you can change them if you wish.
• REDIS_URI should be changed to redis:6379.
• ROOT_REDIRECT should be changed to whatever you want the / of the API to be set to a different site, like your own personal homepage.
• DISCORD_* should be configured with your Discord application.
• PEPPER_* should be unique values. These provide extra anonymity and make it more difficult to get user info.
• SIZE_LIMIT is up to you, but should usually be left as default. This is for the settings sync and how much data a user can store.

4. Create a docker-compose.override.yml that maps your ports, like so:

   services:
     backend:
       ports:
         - HOST_PORT:8080

5. docker compose up -d
6. Configure a reverse proxy to serve the backend as /v1/ on whatever domain you please.
