This is a discord bot that aims to provide notifications when new pawprints are posted, so that more members of the RIT community can participate and vote on issues that are raised
Grant the bot access to your server: TODO: add oauth link here
To subscribe to a feed of pawprints, an administrator must run the command /subscribe in the channel that should be subscribed to
To run the bot locally, you need to make a .env file containing the text DISCORD_TOKEN= followed by a discord bot token created from the discord developer portal.
This bot also depends on the pawprints-api library/repo, which it currently expects to be cloned into a directory at the same level as it.
Then you can build the docker container with docker build -t <image name> .. The database will generate on first run.
To run the bot, you can use the command docker run --rm --env-file .env <image name>.
This codebase is primarily managed with pipenv. To install dependencies, install pipenv and then run pipenv install.
To run the project, run pipenv run python3 ./pawprints-bot.py
This assumes you have a valid database set up. if you dont have this, run pipenv run python3 ./database.py
