Setup/Installation

1. Create a Discord Application Bot. You can follow this tutorial. Copy the bot token somewhere for usage later.
2. Invite the bot to your server. You can follow this tutorial.
3. Install NodeJS for your system. Refer to Google for installation based on OS.
4. Clone this repo for starter template.
5. Run npm ci to install NPM dependencies.
6. Copy .env.example to .env and add all bot token and admin IDs into .env. Change other options to your liking.
7. Run node deploy-commands.js to deploy the bot's slash commands to discord.
8. Finally, run npm start or node index.js to run the bot.
9. OPTIONAL Run the bot in a container if you want to keep your bot active. See below for instructions.

Usage

Commands

• /enable: Enables the bot.
• /disable: Disables the bot.

Config Environment Variables

• REPLY_MODE - Whether or not bot should use Discord replies for messages.
• BOT_NAME - Name of the bot.
• BOT_REPLIES - Whether or not bot should reply to other bots (but never itself).
• EMBED_RESPONSE - Whether or not to use embeds when responding (new features will be developed for true)

These env vars are dynamic based on the personality. Use "<p>" as a placeholder for the BOT_NAME:

• DYNAMIC_TITLE_MSG - Bot message for the title of embeds. Will be wrapped in ** **.

Docker

• Ensure your .env file exists and is populated with the correct values.
• Run docker build -t <IMAGE_NAME_> . to build the image.
• Run docker-compose up -d to create a stack. This will mount the .env file to /app/.env within the container.

I've been slowly adding features on my own bot, but thought this was a great starting point for a bot. Thanks!
