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.
Environment variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| SERVE_DOMAIN | Domain where we server files from, not where we upload files to. |
| UPLOAD_FOLDER | Path to the directory where we store files. |
| WEBHOOK_URL | Discord Webhook URL |
Howto
Your webserver infront of discord-embed needs to be configured for this program to work.
Nginx
You have two example files here: embed.subdomain.conf and i.subdomain.conf
Caddy
# SERVE_DOMAIN = i.example.com
# UPLOAD_FOLDER = /var/www/embed
embed.example.com {
reverse_proxy * http://discord-embed:5000 # The Docker container where discord-embed runs
}
i.example.com {
root * /var/www/embed
try_files {uri} {uri}/ {uri}.html
file_server
}
