Server Setup

Initial configuration and admin channel setup.

Inviting the Bot

Invite sbbot

Before you can configure your server, you need to invite sbbot to your Discord server.

Invite sbbot to your server

What It Does

Server setup covers the initial bot configuration for a new DayZ server and the admin channel that receives administrative commands.

Initial Server Setup

Set Up a New Server

/setup

Opens an interactive view that guides you through connecting a new DayZ server to sbbot. The setup process:

  1. Displays a button to authorize with Nitrado
  2. Opens the Nitrado OAuth authorization page
  3. Once authorized, the server is automatically registered
  4. The bot begins monitoring and processing logs for the new server

Note

The authorization view has a 30-second timeout. If it expires, run /setup again.

Admin Channel

Set Admin Channel

/server admin-channel <server> <channel>

Binds a Discord channel to receive administrative commands and notifications for a specific server.

Parameter Description
server The DayZ server (autocomplete shows server name and map)
channel The Discord text channel for admin commands

Why this matters

The admin channel is where: - Administrative slash commands are executed - Error messages are sent (e.g., CSV import errors) - Ban confirmations appear - Server status changes are announced

Example

/server admin-channel My DayZ Server #admin

This binds the #admin channel to receive admin commands for the "My DayZ Server" server.

Example

/server admin-channel My DayZ Server #admin
