2. Add Code.gs, config.gs, and the .html files to the project.

3. Modify config.gs to tailor to your server.

4. Click on the clock icon (between the save and run icons) to see the project's triggers.

Database

To enable database features for the Discord bot, you must also give the Google script access so that the database can be populated with members' details as they submit them.

First, set up the database following the instructions in seba/database. You must set up the database first before proceeding.

Then log in to MySQL, entering your MySQL root user password when prompted:

$ mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:

Make a new user for the script to access the database as. Replace username with the username, password with the password, and db_name with the database name:

mysql> CREATE USER username IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
mysql> GRANT INSERT ON db_name.submissions TO username;
mysql> exit

To enable remote access to the database, open up the mysqld.cnf file:

$ sudo nano /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf

Navigate down to the bind-address line:

. . .
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
bind-address            = 127.0.0.1
. . .

Change the address to 0.0.0.0:

. . .
# Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on
# localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure.
bind-address            = 0.0.0.0
. . .

Then close and save the file. Restart MySQL to let the changes take effect:

$ sudo service mysql restart

If you have a firewall, open up port 3306 for each of the IP ranges in this list one at a time like so:

$ sudo ufw allow from 64.18.0.0/20 to any 3306
$ sudo ufw allow from 64.233.160.0/19 to any 3306
. . .

and so on.

Finally, add the jdbc.gs file to the project and set the config values at the top of jdbc.gs for your database. For example:

var host = '192.168.0.2:3306';
var user = 'seba_form_usr';
var pwd = 'P@ssw0rd!';
var db = 'seba_db';
