Og's Discord echo bot

A little Discord bot that echoes what you type back to you, using the !ogecho command. For example, typing: !ogecho write this back to me should have the bot reply to you write this back to me in a grey box.

The bot also support the version command, echoing its version. For example, !ogecho version should write og-echo-bot: 1.3.0 (the version number 1.3.0 may change).

Goal

This is a simple experiment that I made to test deployment at different cloud provider using their serverless or Virtual Machine offerings. The bot is built using Node.js and Typescript and is packed into a Docker container.

Technology stack

• Docker
• Node.js
• Typescript

Build

docker build --rm -f "Dockerfile" -t ogechobot .
# OR add the "no-cache" flag if you are making changes
docker build --rm -f "Dockerfile" -t ogechobot . --no-cache

Run

Make sure you created an .env file containing the appropriate environment variables, see .env-template, then:

• (locally) docker run --env-file ./.env ogechobot
• (host) docker run --env-file ./.env --restart=always -d "registry.hub.docker.com/carlhugo/ogechobot:1.0.0"
  • Change 1.0.0 by the version that you want to run
  • Make sure to copy the .env file on the remote machine

You can also take a look at the azure-pipelines.yml which contains the CI/CD pipeline tasks.
