Parrot

This is a silly Discord bot that reacts to one-word messages with that message itself.

Example

Developer Notes

• Define a .dotenv file was follows:

export PARROT_BOT_TOKEN=your bot token

• Then, source it, run sbt, and from its command line issue a reStart command:

longshorej@visions parrot % source .dotenv
longshorej@visions parrot % sbt

Operator Notes

The bot currently runs on a plain old VPS. Run universal:packageBin in sbt to create a zip file, copy it over, ssh to the machine, kill screen. There's a dotfile to be sourced with tokens in the directory you unzip it to.

If bot has failed, ssh to machine and restart screen. Somehow this hasn't happened yet? Does the selected VPS hosting not reboot?!
