Requirements

• PostgresSQL 14 server
  • MacOS: PostgresSQL
  • Windows: PostgresSQL
  • Linux: PostgresSQL
• Python 3.10+ (On initial release - during pre-alpha phase 3.9+)
• Discord.py 2.0.0+ bot

Environment Variables

Note - All environment variables except PYLAV__LOGGER_PREFIX can be configured from the pylav.yaml file which should reside in the home directory of the user running the bot. An example of the file can be found at pylav.example.yaml, if you don't create the file yourself pylav will do so on the first run, and once the file exists it will be preferred over the Environment Variable set.

Required

• Env Vars to connect the lib to the PostgresSQL server All Envvars default to AsyncPG defaults
  • PYLAV__POSTGRES_PORT
  • PYLAV__POSTGRES_PASSWORD
  • PYLAV__POSTGRES_USER
  • PYLAV__POSTGRES_DB
  • PYLAV__POSTGRES_HOST

Optional

• Env Vars to connect the lib cache to Redis, note if these are missing the library will default to PostgresSQL, therefore they are not necessary.
  • This will be used by the aiohttp cached client session for storing cached responses for 1 day, this reduces stress on some of the requests the lib makes such as to RadioBrowser.
    • PYLAV__REDIS_FULL_ADDRESS_RESPONSE_CACHE
      • e.g. redis://[[username]:[password]]@localhost:6379/0
      • e.g. unix://[[username]:[password]]@/path/to/socket.sock?db=0
• Misc
  • PYLAV__LOGGER_PREFIX - Sets the logger prefix, defaults to None, or "red." if redbot is installed.
  • PYLAV__JAVA_EXECUTABLE - Sets the Java executable to be used by PyLav for the managed Lavalink node
  • PYLAV__USE_BUNDLED_EXTERNAL_NODES - Set this to 1 to enable the bundled external nodes or 0 to disabled it
• Unmanaged External Node - If both PYLAV__EXTERNAL_UNMANAGED_HOST and PYLAV__EXTERNAL_UNMANAGED_PASSWORD are set then the managed node is not started up
  • PYLAV__EXTERNAL_UNMANAGED_HOST - No Default - Required (Should not contain the protocol i.e "http" or "https", this is determined by PYLAV__EXTERNAL_UNMANAGED_SSL)
  • PYLAV__EXTERNAL_UNMANAGED_PASSWORD - No Default - Required
  • PYLAV__EXTERNAL_UNMANAGED_PORT - Defaults to 80
  • PYLAV__EXTERNAL_UNMANAGED_SSL - Defaults to 0 (i.e False) - Possible values are 0 - 1
• Tasks Timers
  • PYLAV__TASK_TIMER_UPDATE_BUNDLED_PLAYLISTS: Defaults to 1 # How many days to wait between updates - Minimum 1 Day.
  • PYLAV__TASK_TIMER_UPDATE_BUNDLED_EXTERNAL_PLAYLISTS: Defaults to 7 # How many days to wait between updates - Minimum 7 Days.
  • PYLAV__TASK_TIMER_UPDATE_EXTERNAL_PLAYLISTS: Defaults to 7 # How many days to wait between updates - Minimum 7 Days.
