Credits to @million1156 for writing this.

You can see the link to RestoreCord 2024 source code in the README of this repository!

Warning

VaultCord is still a way better solution than this, this is really meant for tinkerers like us. And of course, many thanks to mak for helping out :) As this is a direct clone of RestoreCord (but with fixes to make it operational), there are inherit vulnerabilities within the software. Blame xenos. Therefore, you shouldn't use this in a production env. Just use VaultCord. Again, it's way better and more secure (like seriously, why is not hashing IPs industry standard! VaultCord hashes their IPs with SHA-512, so good luck ever breaking it)

  • First, create a .env file with these values:
DATABASE_URL = ""
BUILD_DIR = "dist"
JWT_SECRET = ""
HCAPTCHA_SECRET = ""
COINBASE_API_KEY = ""
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY = ""
IPINFO_TOKEN = ""
NODE_ENV = "production"
SENDGRID_API_KEY = ""
PROXYCHECK = ""
PLATFORM = "PRODUCTION"
CF_API_TOKEN = ""
CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID = ""

DATABASE_URL is any "mysql://" connection string. You can create a self-hosted database, or use something like DigitalOcean.

BUILD_DIR is the directory the static files (will be the files hosted on the server). Recommended to just leave it as "dist".

JWT_SECRET is the JSON Web Token secret. You must think of an intial password (for example, "RestoreCord"). Then, use a JWT 'encryptor' that will turn that initial password into an actual usable JWT.

HCAPTCHA_SECRET is the HCaptcha secret key. You can sign up here.

COINBASE_API_KEY is the CoinBase API key. However, we don't use this, so it is not needed.

STRIPE_SECRET_KEY is the Stripe API key. Similar to the Coinbase key, we don't use it, so it isn't needed.

IPINFO_TOKEN is the token for IPInfo. You can signup here. This is used for the "connection info" portion of the webhook logs.

NODE_ENV is the environment nodejs is running in. This should be kept as "production".

SENDGRID_API_KEY is the SendGrid API key used for sending support/noreply emails. However, we mostly removed this functionality, as it isn't required.

PROXYCHECK is the Proxycheck API key used for checking if a connection is from a VPN or not. You can signup here.

PLATFORM is the same as NODE_ENV, so keep it the same.

CF_API_TOKEN is your Cloudflare API token. You can get it here. Make sure to get the "Global API Key"!

CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID is the zone your domain is in. You can get it by going to the Cloudflare dashboard, going to your domain, and scrolling down. You should see "Zone ID" and a bunch of random letters/numbers below it. That is your Zone ID.

Now that you have the configuration mostly setup,

You should change the Sitekey (use Findall and search for "sitekey"), and use the SiteKey (NOT THE SITEKEY SECRET) that you got from HCaptcha.

You can use Findall to replace any mentions of "RestoreCord" with your own name (but first, you should replace "restorecord.com" with the domain you're going to be using).

Next, you should go onto your server and install Node.js if you haven't already.

After you setup Node.js, you should run npm install. This will install all the required dependencies.

And, if you did everything correct, you should be able to run npm run start, and the server should be online!

Note

You can use the provided run.sh script to automate the running of the server if you know what you're doing, but it isn't nessecarily required.
