Upload your Python project

Upload a ZIP with bot.py, requirements.txt and your source files. NodeForge installs the listed Python packages before startup.

Protect your Discord token

Store DISCORD_TOKEN and API keys as encrypted environment variables instead of including secrets in Python files.

Read live bot logs

Watch package installation and discord.py output from the browser when debugging commands, cogs or gateway connections.

Managed bot controls

Start, stop and restart the bot without SSH while NodeForge applies the CPU, memory and storage limits of your plan.

Python hosting questions

Which Python Discord libraries can I use?

Projects install dependencies from requirements.txt, including discord.py, Pycord and other packages your bot requires.

Will the bot run without my computer?

Yes. The bot runs in a managed container on NodeForge infrastructure, so your home computer does not need to stay switched on.

Can I use cogs and multiple Python files?

Yes. Include the whole project in the ZIP and select the correct main startup file.
