## Installation

### Step 1 - Check preconditions

1. 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](https://allianceauth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/auth/allianceauth/) for details)

1. Discord Notify needs [Discord Proxy](https://gitlab.com/ErikKalkoken/discordproxy) to function. Please make sure the server is up and running on your system, before continuing.

1. 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:

```bash
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](#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:

```text
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!
