discord-bot
A simple Discord bot, just for fun on a private server, written in Kotlin.
Deployed on Heroku on a Free Web Dyno, uses cron-jobs to ping the instance every 30 minutes from 7am-12am daily to keep the application awake.
Local Development
Install required tools:
brew update && brew install heroku && brew install gradle
Check that everything builds and (eventual) tests pass
./gradlew clean build
Run locally (requires bot token)
Via Gradle:
DISCORD_TOKEN=<token> ./gradlew run
Via Heroku CLI:
echo "DISCORD_TOKEN=<token>" > .env
./gradlew clean build && heroku local
The heroku local command will run all processes defined in Procfile, and uses .env to define any necessary environment variables.
