Deploy and Host Discord Honeypot on Railway

Discord Honeypot is a Discord bot that auto-creates a #honeypot channel, lets admins tag any text channel as a trap, and bans anyone who posts there while purging their last 24h of messages. Honeypot channel IDs are persisted in SQLite so the traps survive restarts and deployments.

About Hosting

Using this template on Railway sets up a Bun-powered bot with a persistent SQLite database mounted on a Railway volume. You provide the Discord bot token and the application ID. On boot the bot registers slash commands, auto-creates a honeypot channel if missing, enforces bans for posts inside honeypot channels, and keeps channel IDs in HONEYPOT_DB_PATH so data sticks across deploys.

Railway handles build, secrets, and scaling; you just supply env vars and attach a volume.

Common Use Cases

Auto-ban spam accounts the moment they speak in a flagged channel
Trap compromised staff accounts by designating sensitive channels as honeypots
Run a low-maintenance moderation tripwire alongside existing bots

Dependencies for Discord Honeypot Hosting
