Installation

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/notswedish/QuotaBot.git

2. Compile the bot: javac -cp ".:path/to/JDA.jar:path/to/other/dependencies.jar" QuotaBot.java

Or download the .jar in the releases tab

3. Run the bot: java -jar QuotaBot.jar It's compiled in Java 17, so you need to have Java 17 installed on your system to run it.

Usage

Configure the bot by editing the .env file with these values

• TOKEN=token
• QOTD_CHANNEL_ID=channelid

Daemonizing

You can create a systemd service unit file to manage your Java application as a service. Here's how to setup a systemd service for your application:

1. Create a new service file: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/quotabot.service

2. Add the following content

[Unit]
Description=QuotaBot
After=network.target

[Service]
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/home/<your_username>/QuotaBot
# may be /root/QuotaBot/
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /home/<your_username>/QuotaBot/QuotaBot-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
SuccessExitStatus=143
TimeoutStopSec=10
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Now inform systemd about this new service: sudo systemctl daemon-reload

4. Enable the service to start on boot: sudo systemctl enable quotabot

5. Now you can start your service: sudo systemctl start quotabot

6. You can check the status of your service: sudo systemctl status quotabot

7. To stop the service, you can use: sudo systemctl stop quotabot

This configuration keeps your application running in the background and automatically starts it at system boot. It also restarts your application if it fails.
