Introduction

Frost is a personal Discord bot. It handles booster roles, birthday perks, and more.

Installation

Ruby version 3.3, a PostgreSQL database, and Docker is needed to run the bot.

1. Install the latest version of Ruby

This should be fairly self-explanatory. See here for instructions.

2. Install dependencies

Simply do: bundle install.

3. Create the database in PostgreSQL

You'll need to be using PostgreSQL 14 or higher. Type the following into the PostgreSQL manager:

CREATE ROLE frost WITH LOGIN PASSWORD 'yourpasswordhere';
CREATE DATABASE frigid OWNER frost;
CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;

4. Fill in configuration variables

Change the name of the example.yml file to config.yml and fill in all the variables.

# Discord related credentials.
Discord:
  OWNER: "YOUR_ID_HERE"
  TOKEN: "Bot TOKEN_HERE"
  CONTRIBUTORS: []

# Information about a manga chapter.
Chapter:
  LINK: ""
  CHANNEL: ""
  ELEMENT: ""

# Database related credentials.
Postgres:
  URL: "postgres://URI_HERE"

Many of these variables are undocumented because the bot is meant for personal use.

5. Run the bot

Either build the Dockerfile, or do: bundle exec ruby --yjit core.rb.
