Example

Installation
Step 1 - Check preconditions

Discord Notify is a plugin for Alliance Auth. If you don't have Alliance Auth running already, please install it first before proceeding. (see the official AA installation guide for details)

Discord Notify needs Discord Proxy to function. Please make sure the server is up and running on your system, before continuing.

Please also make sure you have the Discord service installed and setup in Alliance Auth.

Step 2 - Install app
Make sure you are in the virtual environment (venv) of your Alliance Auth installation. Then install the newest release from PyPI:
pip install aa-discordnotify

Step 3 - Configure Auth settings
Configure your Auth settings (local.py) as follows:

Add "discordnotify" to INSTALLED_APPS
Optional: Add additional settings if you want to change any defaults. See Settings for the full list.

Step 4 - Finalize App installation
Restart your supervisor services for Auth (no migration required).
Step 5 - Send test notification
To test that your installation was successful you can create a test notification to yourself by navigating to the relative route /discordnotify/test in your browser. The absolute URL depends on your Auth site. Example: For an Auth site with the URL https://auth.example.com the test URL would be:
https://auth.example.com/discordnotify/test

When everything was setup correctly, you will receive a test notification on Discord.
Congratulations you are now ready to use Discord Notify!
