Bastion

From their Github

Bastion is a multi-purpose Discord Bot that can help you automate most tasks in your server, from administration and moderation to keeping the members active through various incentives, games and other fun activities.

Running the bot

You need to enable both Privileged Gateway Intents for the bot to run.

Invite link: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=INSERT_APP_ID_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=8

Server Ports

Port default
Bastion API Port 8377

Mongodb

Mongodb is automaticly running in the background. Leave Mongo URL to the default to use it. If you want to use a external mongodb server a connection string should look like: mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<ip>/?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Startup cmd

By default this should be npm start but if you want to register your slash commands set it to npm run commands it will activate the slash commands on discord's side. Then the server will crash, change it back to npm run to start the bot back up and have slash commands enabled.
