blablabliam / thatkitebot Goto Github PK

A discord bot focused on science commands and fun stuff. No moderation for now.

The following instructions will be for a debian server. (It is recommended that you add yourself to the docker user group to omit sudo for better security)

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

git clone https://github.com/ThatRedKite/thatkitebot.git

cd thatkitebot
sudo docker-compose up

Docker will download all dependencies and start. This can take a while. After it finishes starting hit ctrl+c to stop it and wait until it finishes.

nano ./data/init_settings.yml 

This will open nano editor where you will see something like this:

discord_token: ''
prefix: ''
tenor_token: ''

The tenor token is optional. discord_token is the discord bot API token you can get from discord. prefix is what the bot will use as a command prefix for example + or ex or any other string or character. Don't forger to turn on Privileged Gateway Intents in the discord bot panel (next to the bot API token).

After that is done hit ctrl + x, y and enter. The settings will be saved.

To start the bot from a stopped state (like we have right now).

sudo docker-compose up -d thatkitebot

You will see it print:

Starting redis ... done
Starting thatkitebot ... done

To check the status of the container do sudo docker container ls you will see 2 containers redis:alpine and thatkitebot_thatkitebot that means everything is running. Now go to the server that you added the bot to and do +help (or whatever command prefix you chose) to see if it's working.

sudo docker-compose stop
