This is a lightweight Discord Webhook Proxy written in Node.js. This proxy takes input and proxies it through the server running the code. This code was designed to be used to send requests to the Discord webhook API from Roblox.
MongoDB is being used in this project to store the ratelimit statuses. We cannot store this in memory in our hosted operation because it is hosted across several servers and load-balanced between them.
There are a few prerequisites to run this project locally. You'll need:
- Node.js - this was built using Node.js v16.7
- A MongoDb Instance - we run a cluster, store these credentials in a
.envfile, see the Secrets section for more guidance on your.envfile. - All the dependencies in the package.json
Clone the repo to your system
To install the dependencies simply run npm install.
You'll then need to set up your environment variables.
Once you've installed the proxy, you'll need to run it. To run it, we'd recommend using a process manager like pm2.
By default, the Express server connected to this system will run on port 7053. We recommend running this behind a reverse proxy like NGINX.
We store secrets in a .env file stored in the root directory of the project - you can't see this file because it's in our .gitignore.
