Minimalistic Discord bot ideal for controlling a Raspberry Pi remotely
This bot is ideal for controlling a Raspberry Pi. It should only be in a private server with no one else but you (or anyone else that will be controlling the Pi).
There is absolutely no permission checking for commands and direct root shell access is available!
There are only five commands:
help- Lists all commands and custom aliases.uptime- Displays the time of last Picord launch and how long it has been running.exec <command ..>- Executes shell commands.restart- Disconnects from Discord and exits. Combined with an autorestart system, will make the bot restart.alias <alias> <command ..>- The most useful command. Binds a shell command to a keyword command.
Aliases allow you to easily bind shell commands to simple, single word commands.
With aliases, you can create countless new commands on the fly.
example-aliases.txt is a basic example of a few aliases I use.
If you use motion, you can configure it to run shell commands for certain events like detecting motion or saving a picture/video.
Using webhooks, you can easily send messages from the shell like so:
notification='webhook url here'
function webhook_notify()
{
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"embeds":[{"color":'"$1"',"title":"'"$2"'","description":"'"$3"'"}]}' "$notification"
}
function webhook_upload()
{
curl -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -X POST -F file1=@"$1" -F content="$2" "$notification"
}Add this to your .bashrc file to use them.
on_event_start webhook_notify 25855 "Motion Detected!" "Motion has been detected, recording event #%v."
on_picture_save webhook_upload "%f" "Preview screenshot of event #%v."
