Alasbot

This is a simple discord bot to let people ask for the status of a 7 days to die server.

Prerequisited

To run this, you will need:

• A 7 days to die server
• Some place to run the software
• A discord bot token (Needs to be able to read and send messages)

Running the bot

Run locally

• Compile: go build -o bot.exe cmd/bot/main.go
• Set environment variables
  • SEVEN_DAYS_SERVER="<hostname>:<port>"
  • BOT_TOKEN="Bot <bot token>"
• Run bot.exe

Running on heroku

# heroku config:set SEVEN_DAYS_SERVER="<hostname>:<port>"
# heroku config:set BOT_TOKEN="Bot <bot token>" 

# git push heroku master

# heroku ps:scale worker=1

Running it somewhere else

If you want to run the bot somewhere else, you're on your own. It should easily run anywhere you can run linux executable.

Adding it to your server

• Use the discord developer portal to generate a link to add the bot to your discord
• Use that link, add the bot to your discord
• It should show as online

Usage

When you enter !server anywhere in your discord it should give you some info.

It should also work in DMs

Any feedback is of course very welcome!
