Flask-Server-for-PugBot

A simple flask server for use with PugBot-for-Discord

Installation

Pre-Requisites

An Amamzon EC2 (or similar instance) with a static IP to host the bot, database, and server (this README assumes you have an EC2 instance and may need to be tweaked to work with your system, if that is not the case)
1. If you do not already have this and need to set one up, follow these tutorials:
  1. [https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/getting-started/]
  2. [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html#ec2-launch-instance]
2. Make sure you have a static IP

For Security we will use ngninx

How To Install and Configure nginx
1. Install
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
```
  Once installed, you should be able to go to your public IP and see the nginx welcome page. Similar to the example below:
2. Remove the default page by deleting the default file.
```
sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
```
3. Create a new config file in the sites-available folder.
```
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/pugbot.com
```
  This is how the config file should look:
```
 server {
     listen 80;
 
     location / {
         proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
     }
 }            
```
  This config file will tell the nginx server to listen on port 80 and pass all requests with the ‘/’ prefix to the server http://127.0.0.1:8000/
4. Create a symbolic link from the sites-enabled directory that points to the pugbot.com config file we created.
```
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/pugbot.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pugbot.com
```
5. Restart the nginx web server in order for our changes to take into effect.
```
sudo service nginx restart
```
A MongoDB with tables setup for PugBot-for-Discord

How To Install and Configure the MongoDB
1. Get the most recent stable version onto our instance:
  1. Import the public key used by the package management system
    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2930ADAE8CAF5059EE73BB4B58712A2291FA4AD5
  2. Create a list file for MongoDB (Ubuntu 16.04)
    echo “deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/3.6 multiverse” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.6.list
  3. Reload local package database
    sudo apt-get update
  4. Install the MongoDB packages
    sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
2. Start the MongoDB
  1. Issue the start command
    sudo service mongod start
  2. Verify the MongoDB started correctly
    cat /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log
    - ensure you see [initandlisten] waiting for connection on port 27017 at the end
3. Leave the database running without access control!!
4. Setup the database and required collections
  1. Connect to the MongoDB instance we just started
    mongo
  2. Create the database we will be using
    use Game
  3. Create the necessary collections
```
db.banned.insertOne( { 'userid': '123456789987654321', 'length': '2 days', 'origin': 0123456789.8765432, 'reason': 'initial setup' } );        
db.maps.insertOne( { 'name': 'map1', 'aliases': ['alias0','alias1','alias2'] } );
db.pickups.insertOne( { 'blueteam': ['player0','player1','player2','player3'], 'last':true, 'map': 'A New Begining', 'redteam': ['player4','player5','player6','player7'], 'time': 81955354150 } );
db.servers.insertOne( { 'names': ['server0', 'srvr0'], 'passwd': 'secret', 'serverid': '127.0.0.1:27015' } );        
```
