Getting Started

Setup Postgres

This repo ships with a Dockerfile for a postgres image you can use in postgres-docker/Dockerfile.

Build the docker image

docker build -t postgresql postgres-docker/

Run the docker image

docker run --rm -P --name database postgresql

Find out the port the postgres instance is running on

docker ps

Setup Discord

In order to test the bot, you need to have a dedicated testing server.

  1. Click Here to use our template. This is a server template functionality provided by Discord.
  2. Create a bot account (guide).
  3. Get your bot's Client ID, replace {ID} with it, and then go to the URL in order to add the bot to your testing server.
https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id={ID}&permissions=8&scope=bot

Get the bot running

Build the docker image for the bot

docker build -t discordbot .

A number of environment variables are required to run the bot. Many of these environment variables come from discord.

  • MOD_ID is the id of the mod role
  • TALK_ID is the id of the talk role
  • WG_AND_TEAMS_ID is the id of the working groups and teams role
  • DISCORD_TOKEN is the token used to connect to discord
  • DATABASE_URL is the url where the database is running, you will need to update the port to the port your instance of postgres is running on

Once you have your guild setup, you can run the bot

docker run -e "MOD_ID=" -e "TALK_ID=" -e "DISCORD_TOKEN=" -e "DATABASE_URL=postgres://docker:[email protected]:32768" --add-host=database:172.17.0.2 --rm -it discordbot
