LmaoBot
Dank meme bot for Chatango
How to Make Bot
Use python >=3.8.1 and chatango-lib
Look at requirements.txt
to get see what libraries you need. The current bot is async.py
and uses a modified version of chatango-lib: LmaoLover/chatango-lib
This library uses asyncio
and has many advantages over the old version, but requires working in async style.
Python exceptions
Every error in python will crash your bot and you can't always tell what errors will happen. Use try/except blocks to log errors instead of crashing.
try:
...
except Exception as e:
logError(room.name, "twitter", message.body, e)
Infinite Bot
Your bot will still crash at some point so start your script in an infinite bash loop.
while true
do
echo "Starting bot..."
python3 /root/lmaobot/bot.py
sleep 1
done
If your bot crashes too much then don't do this.
Docker
If you use docker then you don't have to install python libraries manually on your system.
docker build -t lmaobot .
# Edit this script then run the bot
./run_bot.sh
# Stop or restart later
docker restart lmao
docker stop lmao
