Dependencies for DLC-E Hosting

A valid Discord bot token supplied as the DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN environment variable.
A persistent Railway volume mounted at /data so DLC-E settings survive restarts and redeployments.

Implementation Details

-DLC-E is a lightweight Python Discord bot. Railway installs the required Python dependencies, starts the bot with python main.py,stores the Discord token as an environment variable, and uses persistent storage for config.json and trackers.json. No database or web server is required.

Why Deploy DLC-E on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying DLC-E on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
