qbot is the Discord bot used by the unofficial Arch Linux community on Discord. Originally its only function was to manage support channels, but it has evolved to do much more.

Code structure:

• bot.rb initializes the bot and loads modules from a list.
• Each module in modules/*.rb contains support functions and bot commands.
• The bot is configured in a file called config.yml. Copy config.yml.example to config.yml and add the correct settings for your instance or server.

Modules:

• help provides a help command that displays information and usage for modules and commands.
• queries helps manage support channels by managing a database of support questions.
• snippets allows setting and posting configurable text snippets.
• colors generates, manages, and assigns color roles.
• arch contains commands for searching the Arch wiki, repositories, and AUR.
• music is a fully functional music bot that uses youtube-dl to play audio from a URL.
• figlet converts text to ASCII art.
• util provides utility commands.
• admin provides commands for bot administration.

Bot CLI:

• rs or restart restarts the bot.
• rc or reload-config reloads the config.
• lm or load-module loads or reloads a module.
• irb opens a REPL in the context of the bot. The CommandBot object is called @bot.
• quit or stop stops the bot.

The bot uses an SQLite database to store support queries. On first run, open irb and run define_schema.
