Preparing the Database

You can get a free 500MB Database from MongoDB Atlas. That will last for a really long time.

Head over to Atlas and create a new account. You will then be greeted with this panel. Panel View

Select the FREE one and give it a name. Follow these steps;

  • Go to Database Access section under the Security tab and click + ADD NEW USER. Give it Read and write to any database permissions so the bot can properly store the data. Give it a username and a secure password. Save the password only. New User
  • To allow the bot to actually access the database, you should whitelist all IP's. Go to Network Access section under the Security tab and click + ADD IP ADDRESS. Click the Allow Access From Everywhere and 0.0.0.0/0 should appear in the Whitelist Entry. If it doesn't, enter it manually. Lastly, click confirm. Whitelist All IP's
  • Time to connect to the Database! Go to Cluster under the DATA STORAGE tab. If your database is still setting up, please wait until it's done! Once it is, click the CONNECT button and Connect Your Application. Copy a link that looks like this; mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.r4nd0m.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority
  • Lastly, remove the myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority part and replace <username> with your user's name (sometimes it is already replaced in if there's only one user), and <password> with your saved password.
  • Your database is done!
