Running using docker

Requirement

  • If you're new to Docker, we recommend going through their get started page to gain a basic understanding of Docker before moving forward.
• A Solana RPC node/server - This is needed so the bot know where to call to fetch solana transactions. Here are some potential routes to get a node:
  • https://quicknode.com/
  • Run your own

Instructions

Run bot locally using docker in the terminal

If you're new to docker, before starting I recommend

Run the following command with your own secrets replaced with your own configuration:

docker run --name nftbot -d -p 4000:4000 -e SOLANA_RPC=YOURRPCURL -e DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=YOURDISCORDTOKEN -e SUBSCRIPTION_DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID=YOURCHANNELID -e SUBSCRIPTION_MINT_ADDRESS=YOURMINTADDRESS milktoastlab/solananftbot

Note: The command above is tested in linux/unix env only. You may have a different experience in Windows. Please check the documentation on how to run docker command in windows if you need any help.

docker logs ntfbot

To make sure the bot is working properly, use /test-sale-tx endpoint

curl "http://localhost:4000/test-sale-tx?signature={sale_transaction_signature}&channelId={discord_channel_id}"

In case of DiscordAPIError: Missing Access error, check if the bot has been invited to the channel. Go to the channel, click "Add members or roles" and add your bot account as a member.

Alternatively, you can run it using docker-compose:

Update .env with your secret and run

docker-compose up -d bot

Variable breakdowns

DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN

This is your discord bot secret. If you don't have a discord bot yet, you can create one following the instructions here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/discord.html

Make sure your bot has the required permissions:

• View channels
• Read/Send messages
• Send messages
• Embed links

SUBSCRIPTION_DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID

This is the ID of the discord channel you want to send notifications to. You will need to enable developer mode have access the channel IDs. Here are the instructions: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-

SUBSCRIPTION_MINT_ADDRESS

This is the address that you want the Solana NFT bot to watch for notifications. It needs to be one of the creator addresses:

Note: Avoid personal addresses because it could detect unwanted sales.

Twitter variables

Experimental: We haven't stress test Twitter notification on high volume projects. We recommend you have a good internet connection for your bot if you want to use this feature, because for each notification, the bot will upload the nft image to Twitter for display. Create a Github issue to let us know if you encounter any problems.

To post sales notification tweets to Twitter via the API, you will first need Elevated access to the Twitter API.

While logged in to the account you want to use the Twitter API for, apply for Elevated access to the twitter API by clicking the link here and following the steps: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/petition/essential/basic-info

The approval process may take a while.

Create a new project, and create a new App under that project.

The API Key and secret will be displayed to you there, which you'll assign to TWITTER_API_KEY and TWITTER_API_KEY_SECRET respectively.

Then, click on the Keys and tokens tab, and generate the Access Token and Secret. Assign these to TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN and TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET respectively.
