Muse is a **highly-opinionated midwestern self-hosted** Discord music bot **that doesn't suck**. It's made for small to medium-sized Discord servers/guilds (think about a group the size of you, your friends, and your friend's friends).
I believe it makes much more sense to let Discord handle user permissions (whenever possible) rather than building them into a bot and adding additional complexity. Instead of only allowing users with a certain role to control Muse, Muse allows anyone who has access to its bound channel to control it. Instead of specifying the owner as a user ID in the config, Muse simply looks at the guild owner.
Muse is written in TypeScript. You can either run Muse with Docker (recommended) or directly with Node.js. Both methods require API keys passed in as environment variables:
-`SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID` and `SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET` can be acquired [here](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications) with 'Create a Client ID'.
-`YOUTUBE_API_KEY` can be acquired by [creating a new project](https://console.developers.google.com) in Google's Developer Console, enabling the YouTube API, and creating an API key under credentials.
Muse will log a URL when run. Open this URL in a browser to invite Muse to your server. Muse will DM the server owner after it's added with setup instructions.
By default, Muse limits the total cache size to around 2 GB. If you want to change this, set the environment variable `CACHE_LIMIT`. For example, `CACHE_LIMIT=512MB` or `CACHE_LIMIT=10GB`.
If you have Muse running in a lot of guilds (10+) you may want to switch to registering commands bot-wide rather than for each guild. (The downside to this is that command updates can take up to an hour to propogate.) To do this, set the environment variable `REGISTER_COMMANDS_ON_BOT` to `true`.
