Buxa

Buxa is discord bot that embeds instagram videos for friend group to watch without leaving discord

Important

Buxa is currnetly hosted on a modest server to keep it free. Perfomace may vary during peak usage.

Features

I want to make universal bot that can embed videos of instagram, tiktok and youtube shorts.

Buxa is built on discordgo library and for it to work properly it needs permissions: "Send Messages" and "Read Message History". Buxa does not store any messages in any kind of database for security purposes. it saves video in buffer and and simply sends it.

For this moment buxa only supports instagram reels (only public ones).

How do I run it

Build Prerequisites

Go programming language (leats version 1.24.3), yt-dlp, git, ffmpeg are required.

Note

Buxa without docker at this moment is not included in this README except Debian/Ubuntu.

Debian/Ubuntu

Run this only if you do not have prerequisites installed (does not include golang).

curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp
chmod a+rx ~/.local/bin/yt-dlp  # Make executable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg
sudo apt install git

One of the ways to run this application is to clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/0xSKAMI/buxa.git
cd buxa
touch .env

Note

To successfully run application you will need valid discord bot token which you have to put in .env file in the root of the project.

example of .env

TOKEN="{your token}"

After that you can build buxa and run it.

go build main.go
./main

Docker

To run this application in docker you will need docker version 28.3.3 or newer.

docker pull 0xskami/buxa:0.1.2
docker run -e TOKEN='{input your bot's token}' 0xskami/buxa
