This is a Discord back-end for Errbot. It allows you to use Errbot from Discord to execute commands.
An Errbot instance is required to install the discord back-end. See the Errbot installation documentation for details.
- Python 3.6 or later
- Discord.py 1.2.3 or later
The steps below are to install the discord back-end in Errbot's virtual environment. In the examples below, the virtual environment was set to /opt/errbot/virtualenv and Errbot initialised in /opt/errbot. The "extra" back-end directory is set to /opt/errbot/backend.
- If not already set, set Errbot's
BOT_EXTRA_BACKEND_DIRvariable in/opt/errbot/config.pyto the directory you will use to place additional back-ends.
BOT_EXTRA_BACKEND_DIR=/opt/errbot/backend
- Set the back-end to use
Discord.
BACKEND = 'Discord'
- Clone repository to your Errbot back-end directory.
cd /opt/errbot/backend
git clone https://github.com/gbin/err-backend-discord.git
- Install back-end dependencies (Errbot's virtual environment must be activated to install the dependencies into it).
source /opt/errbot/virtualenv/bin/activate
cd err-backend-discord
pip install -r requirements.txt
deactivate
- Set the bot's token (see Create a discord application for information on how to get the token).
BOT_IDENTITY = {
'token' : 'changeme'
}
- Enable SERVER MEMBERS INTENT for your bot on the Discord website. See here for the required steps.
For further information about getting a bot user into a server please see: https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2. You can use this tool to generate a proper invitation link. The reactiflux community have written a quick start guide to creating a discord bot and getting a token
