Discord integration for Project Zomboid. Sends feature-rich information to a text channel in discord. I've now also added a discord bot to control the discord server from a discord channel. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS!

This needs to be run on the instance that is running the Project Zomboid server. Obviously the OS needs to be Linux with Bourne Again Shell (BASH) and a few other dependencies, listed later. You'll also have to have your own Discord Server (or have admin rights to the server) to get a Webhook set up. The user that you use to install diZcord should have sudo access.

---

Before starting, shut down your Project Zomboid server by entering "quit" into the server's console as an admin.

Create a new file in your home folder called with the following code in there (I'll describe it line-for-line later):

Make the script executable:


Then run the script
It will download the latest version of diZcord from here and put all the files in /opt/dizcord/

Now head on over to and run the Wizard

LATEST_VERSION=$(curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/Blyzz616/diZcord/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name')

curl -sL: This command is used to make an HTTP GET request to the specified URL (https://api.github.com/repos/Blyzz616/diZcord/releases/latest).
| jq -r '.tag_name': The output of the curl command is passed through jq, and extracts the value of the 'tag_name' key from the JSON response, effectively retrieving the latest version of the diZcord release from GitHub. The result is stored in the variable LATEST_VERSION.

CURRENT_VERSION=$(sudo cat /opt/dizcord/current.version 2>/dev/null)

sudo cat /opt/dizcord/current.version: Reads the content of the file /opt/dizcord/current.version. 2>/dev/null: Redirects any error output to /dev/null (a special file that discards the output). If the file doesn't exist or there is an error reading it, this line won't produce an error message. The result is stored in the variable CURRENT_VERSION.

I_AM=$(whoami): Retrieves the current username and assigns it to the variable I_AM.

if [[ "$CURRENT_VERSION" != "$LATEST_VERSION" ]]; then: Checks whether the current version ($CURRENT_VERSION) is not equal to the latest version ($LATEST_VERSION).

NO_V=$(echo "$LATEST_VERSION" | sed 's/v//'): Removes the leading 'v' from the latest version and assigns the result to the variable NO_V.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/dizcord/: Creates the directory /opt/dizcord/ if it doesn't exist.

wget -q -O "/tmp/dizcord-$NO_V.tar.gz" "https://github.com/Blyzz616/diZcord/archive/$LATEST_VERSION.tar.gz": Downloads the diZcord release tarball (zip file) from GitHub and saves it as /tmp/dizcord-$NO_V.tar.gz.

tar -zxvf "/tmp/dizcord-$NO_V.tar.gz" -C /opt/dizcord/ --strip-components=1 >/dev/null: Extracts the contents of the tarball to /opt/dizcord/ while suppressing output.

sudo chown -R "$I_AM":"$I_AM" /opt/dizcord: Changes the ownership of the /opt/dizcord/ directory and its contents to the current user.

rm -r /tmp/di?cord*: Removes temporary files in /tmp/ that match the pattern /tmp/di?cord*.

echo "$LATEST_VERSION" > /opt/dizcord/current.version: Writes the latest version to the file /opt/dizcord/current.version.

fi: Ends the if block.

sudo chmod ug+x /opt/dizcord/*.sh: Changes the permissions of all .sh files in the /opt/dizcord/ directory to make them executable by the owner and the owner's group.
As all the code in wizard.sh is in github, all are free to view it and inspect it. You can even paste it into a GPT and ask a Generative LLM if there is any malicious code in there.
