## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Honeypot on Railway

A Discord bot to automatically catch and remove spam bots by monitoring a dedicated "#honeypot" channel.

## About Hosting Honeypot

Very simple, all you need to do is add the bot token in `DISCORD_TOKEN` and then add the bot to your server(s) and everything will be taken care of: 

1. [**Invite the bot**](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_BOT_ID) to your server with appropriate permissions (Ban Members, Manage Channels, etc).
2. The bot will create a `#honeypot` channel on join, or you can set it up with `/honeypot`.
3. Configure the admin log channel and action (kick or ban) using the `/honeypot` command.
4. Ensure the bot’s highest role is above any self-assignable (color/ping) roles.
5. Any user posting in the honeypot channel will be banned or removed, and the action will be logged.

> **Note:** Kick is default and is a softban (bans & unbans) so Discord deletes their immediate messages 

## Common Use Cases

- Discord spam bots that flood all channels
- You simply want a channel that removed users who message in a channel

## Dependencies for Honeypot Hosting

- [Bun](https://bun.sh/) (v1.3+)
- A Discord bot token set in `DISCORD_TOKEN`
- See the GitHub for full info: https://github.com/RiskyMH/honeypot
