Raspberry PI 4 for Discord Bot hosting

[Sotlol1]

Saw somewhere that it was possible to host discord bots on a Raspberry Pi.

Is it possible to do this when my bots are made with NodeJS 12? or do they need to be in a different language?
Have any of you done this and if so how did it work out?

Raspberry Pi's generally just run Linux, if it is possible to run your bot on that operating system you should not have any issues.

I'm pretty sure you can run JS bots on a raspberry pi.
Great piece of computer, I've got a 3b+ myself.

Even if you don't host your bot on it, it's amazing what you can do on them if you just want to play around with it

They most definitely can run discord bots, I have one currently running on my 3b+ right now and it works without any problems.
