Prerequisites

  • A working docker installation, learn more at Docker
    OR
  • A working Node JS installation, learn more at Node JS. Minimum version 6.13.0.

You will need a server to test the bot on. Create your own 'private' Discord server.

Setting up the bot

After you have the project and a server, go to the Discord Developer Portal. If you are prompted to log in, use the same credentials that you use for your Discord account.

Once that's done, create a new application (Applications > New Application).

Step #1

Name your application any way you like, and click Create.

Step #2

This should take you to the 'General Information' page of your new application. In the left menu, select Bot.

Step #3

Choose Add Bot.

Step #4

Step #5

On your new bots page, select Reset Token. Once the new token appears, copy the token. It will only be shown to you once.

Step #6

In the project folder, create a file called .env. Fill it out using the template in .env.template.

Why you should keep your bot token a secret: A bot token is used to attach a script to your bot. If someone has your bot token, they can control your bot with any script they attach to it. If you want your own remote branch in this project, please do not commit changes to this file.

After that is done, generate a URL for your bot. Select OAuth2 from the left menu, and click URL Generator. Choose the bot checkbox, and select the Administrator checkbox in the section that appears. Copy the URL at the bottom of the page.

Step #7

Follow this link in a browser, and choose the private server you created to add your bot to.

Running the bot

Run from source

git clone https://github.com/Antares-Network/CSSC-Bot.git
# Fill out the .env file using the template in .env.template
npm install
npm install -g typescript ts-node
ts-node index.ts

Run from Docker

git clone https://github.com/Antares-Network/CSSC-Bot.git
# Fill out the .env file using the template in .env.template;
# Or add the environment variables to your docker run command by adding the 
# --env-file .env option 
docker build -t cssc-bot .
docker run -d cssc-bot

The bot should become responsive. You can check for errors in the console.
