discord-embed
Discord will only create embeds for videos and images if they are smaller than 8MB. We can "abuse" this by using the twitter:image HTML meta tag.
This is useful when you send a video and want it to be playable in Discord.
How it works
This program will create a .html that you will send instead of a .mp4 file. Discord will parse the HTML and create an embed for you. The embed will be the same as the one you would get if you send a .mp4 file.
Installation
This implies that you have experience with Nginx. Don't be afraid to contact me if you need help.
- Install latest version of git, Python, Poetry and Nginx.
- Clone the repository or download the source code directly from GitHub.
- Install the dependencies using Poetry.
poetry install
- Rename .env.example to .env and fill in the required values.
- Copy discord-embed.service to /etc/systemd/system/discord-embed.service.
sudo cp discord-embed.service /etc/systemd/system/discord-embed.service- Change lovinator to your username.
- Change DOMAIN to the domain where we will serve the files.
- There is a bundled nginx config file that can be used to serve the site.
sudo cp nginx.conf /etc/nginx/
- Start Nginx at boot.
sudo systemctl enable --now nginx
- Create directory for uploaded files.
sudo mkdir /Uploads
- Check what user is running Nginx, Arch is using http. Others could be www-data:
- ps aux | grep nginx
- Change permissions of /Uploads directory. Change lovinator to your username and http to the user running Nginx.
sudo chown -R lovinator:http /Uploads
- Create log folder.
sudo mkdir /var/log/discord-embed
- Change permissions of /var/log/discord-embed directory. Change lovinator to your username.
sudo chown -R lovinator:lovinator /var/log/discord-embed

sudo systemctl enable --now discord-embed.servicesudo systemctl enable --now discord-embed.socket
