I am working on a bot that will be for 1 Discord server. I have the production bot running on a server and installed on the production server. I also have a dev branch running on a server and installed on a dev discord server for testing.
The issue is that I need to deploy to dev for testing. I have run the bot locally, connected to a server. I guess I need to run it as a third bot?
Goal, have a local dev environment for testing.

Just to feel important and feel seen: I also have multiple keys. One is a direct dev of my main bot, and I have another that just helps me confirm specific features or workflows (generally around interactions)

I use coolify because it's free and self hosted
I have thought about that.
