Running a python bot

Hey y'all!

I'm getting into programming with python now, and as a side project am making a discord bot in python.

I was wondering how to dockerize/run the script from my UNRAID server, so continuously.

It runs with python 3.6.6 and I have to be able to install libraries.

Thanks!

P.S. I have tried looking it up but I can't seem to find anything useful to my case yet.

Not a python guy.

 

But, you *should* be able to simply have your script prefaced with 

#!/usr/bin/python

and make sure that its executable

chmod +x /path/to/file

and it should work from the command prompt.

 

Barring that, I would think that

python /path/to/file

would work also.  AFAIK python is included in unRaid

User scripts is a plugin that will allow you to execute any script on a schedule you choose (available within apps)

Is it correct I can only install Python 3.6.2 via Nerdpack? Or can I download 3.6.6? If so, how?

I see that  is the version that it currently has available.    However if you raise a request in the NerdPack plugin thread it is likely it will be updated.

 

are you actually intending to make use of features that require 3.6.6?

not sure, but like to have the same version as my IDE is in for safety, however when I get PIP working with python3 in nerdpack I'll give it a try anyways. Do you know how to use PIP with python3? Now it uses python2.7 which was required to install if I wanted PIP  Everything works fine!
