Local Development Instructions

To start and deploy the bot locally the following steps are required:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then create the following files:

.env
.env.debug

The .env.debug file is only parsed when you set an environment variable DEBUG. If it is not present it will revert to .env

Contents required for the .env or .env.debug file:

DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=YOUR_SUBER_SECRET_DISCORD_TOKEN

If you want to make use of the reddit commands you also need to register an App/Bot on reddit.com and add the following lines to the .env files:

REDDIT_APP_ID=YOU_APP_ID
REDDIT_APP_SECRET=SUPER_SECRET_REDDIT_APP_SECRET

If you want to use nodemon to automatically restart the bot while developing create a nodemon config as well:

# ./nodemon.json:
{
  "env": {
    "DEBUG": "true"
  }
}

otherwise you can call the bot via:

export DEBUG=True python main.py

Note: export is required when you want to create the environment variable for the current shell AND all processes started from the current shell!

Note
