Server configuration
you need to download the Lavalink server (lavalink-devs/Lavalink) and run it, or use other public nodes.
If you need public nodes, you can refer to the following repository.
Deploying with Binary
Download binaries from the Download Server, GitHub releases or GitHub actions.
Put an application.yml file in your working directory. (Example here)
Run with java -jar Lavalink.jar from the same directory.
Deploying with Docker
Docker images can be found on Github packages or Docker Hub.
Install Docker & Docker Compose
Create a docker-compose.yml with the following content:
version: "3.8"
services:
lavalink:
image: fredboat/lavalink:4.0.7 # pin the image version to Lavalink v4
container_name: lavalink_v4
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx6G # set Java options here
- SERVER_PORT=2333 # set lavalink server port
- LAVALINK_SERVER_PASSWORD=youshallnotpass # set password for lavalink
volumes:
- ./application.yml:/opt/Lavalink/application.yml # mount application.yml from the same directory or use environment variables
- ./plugins/:/opt/Lavalink/plugins/ # persist plugins between restarts, make sure to set the correct permissions (user: 322, group: 322)
networks:
- lavalink
expose:
- 2333 # lavalink exposes port 2333 to connect to for other containers (this is for documentation purposes only)
ports:
- 2333:2333 # you only need this if you want to make your lavalink accessible from outside of containers
networks:
lavalink: # create a lavalink network you can add other containers to, to give them access to Lavalink
name: lavalink
Place the application.yml in the same directory as docker-compose.yml.
