Can I self host the bot?
UB3R-B0T's core bot client code is available on GitHub. However, portions of the bot are offloaded to separate services so self hosting just the bot will not include most of the commands. It's also not well documented from a dev perspective but you're welcome to explore... :)

If the bot is in your server and responding, you can use the debug
command.

Why doesn't this command work? Why isn't the bot responding?

I'm getting an error about "shared search limits"
Some commands may return an error message about "Shared search limit reached for the day. Provide your own API key in the admin panel to maintain limits for your own server". These talk to external APIs which require application keys. The default ones used by UB3R-B0T hit their limits very quickly. You need to go to the admin panel and follow the instructions in the commands section to add your own keys.
