Bloxlink HTTP Interactions (WIP)

WARNING: the code here is a WORK-IN-PROGRESS

This repository contains the code for the upcoming HTTP interactions which will replace how Bloxlink handles commands in the future. This is accomplished by running a web server that handles all interaction commands instead of a websocket which is what the current version of Bloxlink uses.

Instructions

Running this is relatively simple, but is different depending on whether you're running it on your own computer (local) or in a production environment.

With Docker (easy)

• Make sure Docker and Docker Compose are installed.
• Run ./setup.sh for an interaction setup menu. Make sure .env is filled to your liking.
• Run docker-compose up to start everything.

Manual (local)

• Create a Discord application and note down the Public Key.
• Make sure Python 3.12 is installed.
• Install the dependencies with python3.12 -m pip install -r requirements.txt. Depending on your OS, python, python3, or py3 might be used instead.
• Rename .env.example to .env. Modify the config file. You can run ./setup.sh for an interaction setup menu to help you fill out most values of .env.
• Run Redis and MongoDB and put the information in .env.
• Run the bot APIs. Make sure the Auth in the Bot API matches the Auth on the Discord bot.
• Run the SSH command: ssh -R 80:localhost:8010 localhost.run. This will tunnel your local traffic from the bot and spit out an https domain name that you will use.
• Run the web server: python3.12 src/bot.py
• Put the https domain name found from step 2 in your Developer Dashboard Application under the "Interactions Endpoint Url" option.

Production

Instructions are coming soon.
