Thanks_bot 2

This is a simple discord bot to keep track of helpful people so mods can reward them. It also has a few moderator commands, basic scam protection and various other commands so that the members of the discord server can better help each other.

Dependencies

• Node (v14.10.0)
• Yarn (npm install yarn -g)
• Postgresql

Setup docker

1. Install docker and docker compose
2. Copy database.example.json to database.json
3. Copy postgres.example.json to postgres.json
4. Copy config.example.json to config.json
5. Put your own key into the config.json file (You can get a key for your bot at https://discord.com/developers/applications )
6. Run docker-compose up and watch the magic happen as docker-compose pulls in everything needed and starts the bot.

To access the DB from the host and run yarn prepareSql, read How to access the DB from the host while using Docker

Setup locally

1. Copy database.example.json to database.json
2. Fill in the details to connect to your locally running database
3. Copy postgres.example.json to postgres.json
4. Fill here the database connection in again (I know, feels redundant)
5. Copy config.example.json to config.json
6. Put your own key into the config.json file (You can get a key for your bot at https://discord.com/developers/applications )
7. Run yarn install
8. Run yarn migrate up to run the migrations
9. Run yarn start to start the bot. Or use yarn start:dev to also have it automatically restart when it detects changes.

Useful scripts

1. lintFix uses eslint to fix most lint errors (PR's with lint errors won't get merged)
2. unitTest runs the unit tests
3. prepareSql reads the sql files and updates the generated types (use -w to run in watch mode)
4. start:dev automatically compiles and restarts on changes
5. build does a clean build
6. start does a clean build, then starts the bot
7. migrate to run db-migrate
8. lint runs eslint and tells you what the problems are.
9. test runs the linter and the unit tests

How to access the DB from the host while using Docker:

By default, the postgresql container has a port opened at 5433. The default username is thanks_bot_2, so is the database name and password.

The example configuration file postgres.example.json is setup to connect to the postgresql container from the host. This way, yarn prepareSql works out of the box with docker, provided the container is running. There is NO need to run this command from withing the container. ONLY run it from the host!

If you want to connect to the Database with dbeaver from the host then simply configure a new connection, select the postgresql driver and fill the details in as followed:

Host: localhost Port: 5433 Database: thanks_bot_2 Authentication: Database Native Username : thanks_bot_2 Password : thanks_bot_2

Session role and Local client can remain empty.
