## Developing on Skyra



### Requirements



-   [`Node.js`]: To run the project.

-   [`PostgreSQL`]: To store persistent data.



### Optional additions



-   [`InfluxDB`]: Metrics platform.



### [Set-Up - Refer to CONTRIBUTING.md]



## Translating Skyra 



We use **Crowdin** to translate Skyra's messages into different languages. If you'd like to help by contributing new

translations (or improving existing ones), [**click here**](https://translation.skyra.pw). Thank you in advance for any

contributions!



## A note to aspiring developers who want to self-host Skyra



The development team does not support the idea of other self-hosted instances of Skyra. The team prides itself on

providing the best experience and support for the end-users. As such, an offshoot or unaffiliated mirror of Skyra may

cause ill effects on the reputation and image of Skyra. If you wish to see new features implemented, please refer to the

development guidelines linked above.



In addition, Skyra was built with a dependence on many services that need consistent maintenance and oversight to

function and behave properly. These include, but are not limited to,



-   [`InfluxDB`] to keep anonymous metrics on bot usage

-   [`PostgreSQL`] as database

-   Other external APIs, each requiring their API keys.



With this in mind, it is also worth noting that Skyra will in no way be capable of running on services such as [Glitch]

or [Heroku]. A dedicated VPS (Virtual Private Server) is required to maintain the proper production environment.



## Story



**A bit of story**: Skyra, formerly known as kyraBOT (renamed in the middle of March of 2017), is a multipurpose Discord

Bot that was born out of curiosity in a SoloLearn guild. With help from other developers, due to my lack of experience

(I made websites and templates for After Effects, but never a backend application). Skyra was born. Skyra's name comes

from a comment made by a user, who joined "Kyra" with "SkyNET", and created the name "SkyraNET", I liked the name and

later, she got renamed to "Skyra". Originally, it was going to be renamed as "Shiny" (name taken for the currency) or

"Shyy" (original name from the lore) however I decided "Skyra" would be a better name.



Skyra does not only feature almost every feature that is needed in the majority of guilds (discord servers) while being

completely configurable, but also has a backstory, inherited from the lore I have been creating since I was a child.



There have been over 14 rewrites with an active development of over two years, I have met many developers and friends in

Discord, and in February 2017, I met the Dirigeants team, upon which I started to contribute to Komada, and later, for

Klasa. Later in September 2020 I split from Dirigeants along with many of these developers and friends and started

[Sapphire][sapphiredev], which is what Skyra is currently using, specifically [Sapphire Framework][]



_Who knows, I might write a [book] someday for Skyra's lore._
