let me check it out

scenic spade
#

i can't say what the best one is, but this does seem decent

steady python
#

yeah its quite a lot of boilerplate

and where is the bot runing?

scenic spade
#

tbh i would say do it both in js so you can share code...

steady python
#

Nope my bot doesnt have any api its just a python code interacting with discord api

scenic spade
#

so... what will the "discord bot dashboard" do?

steady python
#

Now i want to create a website for it and somehow connect them so they use the same database

steady python
#

Etc

scenic spade
#

yeah, and if you use TS, you can share types and such

#

if JS, you can still have helper functions for both

#

but imo doing the same language I would say, provides better dx

its other project running in docker

gentle marten
#

and you are able to interact with it from frontend?

steady python
#

I thought about making the dashboard project also a Docker image and then implementing it in bot as dependency

steady python
gentle marten
#

i want to explain what i want to do and how it might be similar to your project

#

i would like to have next app dashboard like you, and run some long runing script or bot, same as you

#

i would like to have python bot runing and checking some data from db, but i want to be able to start and stop and perhaps edit from my next.js frontend

#

i am not sure if that is possible to do in serverles, like vercel

#

bc now i can run python in docker no problem

steady python
#

hm i dont know how to approach it too

scenic spade
#

if you use http interactions, it would work, but i doubt you would use them (as you loose access to all events but interactions)

gentle marten
#

and you cant even run python on vercel via child-process right?

#

lets say i write a simple python script that runs forever printing "hello world" to terminal and run it in docker

#

how can i access that "hello world" text in my next.js dashboard?

scenic spade
#

they only last 10sec

gentle marten
#

so what is the alternative?

#

make it in javascript and run at the same time as next.js?

steady python
#

i would say use webhook but i know nothin

scenic spade
#

use a vps...

scenic spade
gentle marten
#

aha okay great

#

and the webhook thing? i also know nothing, so is that good or bad?

scenic spade
#

websoket just means that it is a always open connection - discord can sent you updates anytime

steady python
gentle marten
scenic spade
#

i asumed you meant that

steady python
#

just noticed i wrote webhook

steady python
#

and send messages between

scenic spade
#

if doing that, make sure neither is serverless

#

but it is prob a good idea if they are running in a normal server

gentle marten
#

okay nice
