# Introduction

> What you get with source access, and who this section is for.

This section is for people who purchased the **source code** for one of these bots, rather than
using a hosted instance. If you're running a bot someone else hosts for you, you don't need
anything here — use that bot's own **Guides** tab instead.

<Note>
  The exact terms of your purchase — what you're licensed to do with the code, what support is
  included, and how updates work — are covered in [License &
  support](/sources/license-support). Read that before you deploy anything commercially.
</Note>

## What's the same across every bot

Every bot in this hub follows the same general shape, whichever one you bought:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="A Discord application" icon="discord">
    You'll create your own bot application in the Discord Developer Portal and use your own
    token — the source doesn't come with one.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Environment-based config" icon="gear">
    Settings live in a `.env` file (token, database connection, feature flags) — nothing is
    hardcoded, so you configure without touching source.
  </Card>

  <Card title="A database" icon="database">
    Either SQLite (a single file, zero setup) or PostgreSQL (needs its own server), depending on
    which bot you bought — see [Database](/sources/database).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Your own hosting" icon="server">
    A VPS, a home server, or a container platform — the source doesn't include hosting. See
    [Hosting](/sources/hosting) for what's involved.
  </Card>

## What's different bot to bot

The two things that actually differ across the catalog:

|                  | Node.js bots   | Python bots                                                                                               |
| ---------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Which bots       | Void           | Aegis, SellAuth Bot, KeyAuth Bot, Ticket Bot, Vouch Bot, Invoice Bot, News Bot, Download Bot, Updater Bot |
| Runtime          | Node.js + pnpm | Python 3.10+                                                                                              |
| Typical database | PostgreSQL     | SQLite or PostgreSQL, depending on the bot                                                                |

Check the specific bot's own repo README for which database it uses — the setup steps in this
section flag where that matters.
