PalBot

Discord Bot written in golang that can shutdown and start LXC proxmox container

Purpose

The objective of this bot is to turn off and on the palword server which runs on a Proxmox server under an LXC container.

Concept

We configure 2 LXC containers such as :

VMID 102 palworld-server (based from ubuntu-23.10 and use official setup documentation)
VMID 103 palbot (based from ubuntu-23.10 and follow next configuration)

The VMID 103 will recieve commands from discord chat, and translate it as API call to Proxmox VE server to shutdown VMID 102. Currently, we support 3 subcommands : start, shutdown and status.

As an example, you can find the palword-server.service used in /res folder. You will ne to copy it in /etc/systemd/system folder and systemctl enable palworld-server to start the palworld server at boot on VMID 102.
