GUIDE · 15 MINUTES

How do you set up a Discord server?

We take an empty server to ready-for-public in 15 minutes: channel/role structure, registration, protection, logs, welcome and activity. Each step says which Groyt command to use; if you start with a template, you don't even need to create channels and roles by hand.

1. Set up the channel and role structure

Instead of creating 30 channels by hand, see the template with /server preview and apply it with /server install: categories, channels, roles and basic permissions ready in a minute. If you have your own Discord template link use /server template, or describe it and let AI design it with /server ai.

Tip: take a /server backup first; if you don't like it, go back with /server undo.

2. Turn on the registration system

On a public server, newcomers should stay unregistered first. The /register setup wizard asks for the roles, the name | age rule and the log channel; staff register members with /register male, /register female, /register normal. Details on the registration system page.

3. Security and auto-mod

Turn protection on before the server grows: /security setup turns on anti-nuke, raid, file and phishing protection together. Use auto-mod for profanity and ad filters, and /jail setup and /record configure for a punishment system.

4. Log channels

Pick the general log channel from the /log panel, then split the message log into #message-log, the voice log into #voice-log and joins/leaves into #joins-leaves. Who deleted what, who gave a role, who stayed in voice how long; it's all on record.

5. Welcome, levels and activity

/welcome setup for an image welcome card and a rules DM; /levelsetup for message and voice XP and role rewards; /counters setup for member/voice counters. Games (/game) and the economy carry activity.

FAQ

How many bots do you need to set up a server?

Groyt covers registration, security, logs, music, economy, giveaways and tickets on its own; most servers don't need another bot.

Does template setup delete my existing channels?

Yes, template setup resets the server; that's why you're asked to take a /server backup first and read the preview. You can add channels you made by hand afterwards.

What does the menu in the owner's DM do?

When you pick a server type (public, gaming, friends, community, streamer, trading), it suggests 6 systems suited to that type and their setup commands; it doesn't set anything up by itself.

Mobil telefondan kurabilir miyim?

Yes. Slash commands work on mobile too, and the dashboard is phone-friendly.
