discord-bot-thing
About
This is a discord robit, mainly to learn how discord webhooks work.
For now, we're keeping it simple. It uses cron and a python3 script to post to the discord api
Its config file is expected to be in /etc/discordbot/config and it looks for messages in /etc/discordbot/wod.${day-of-week}.
Config files use the python configparser library. The config options are as follows:
# this is the webhook url you get from discord
webhook=https://example.com/blah
Dependencies
Your system needs to be running python3 and it needs dhooks installed via pip:
pip install dhooks
How to run
After creating the config and message files, you can run this like:
python bot.py
However, the intended use is to be invoked as a cron job.
