Tech Tangents Discord Bot

A management & verification bot for the Tech Tangents Discord Server. By Ave & Nev

This bot is mainly used for user-verification on the Tech Tangents Discord. It includes some other moderation commands, such as a prune command.

The bot also contains a word filter, that can be disabled by removing the regex field from config.py.

---

Configuration

The config.py.template file contains all the required elements for the bot to operate.

Copy this file to config.py, and modify the following:

• Prefix: Set your own prefix that isn't used by any other bots
• Enter your bot's token
• Add your guild ID to the whitelist array
• Add your verification channel to clean_channels if you wish to use the verification system.
• Set specific commands allowed in your verification channel with allowed_clean_commands
• Set your regexs for filtering.
• Add the ID of any administrative roles in your server.
• Set various other verification flags at the bottom.

Setup - Docker

This is the easiest way to get the bot working, if you have compose simply run:

docker-compose up -d

The bot will be built & start running in the background.

Without docker-compose, you can run the following commands to build & deploy the bot;

docker build -t akbk-bot .
docker run -d --name "akbkuku-discord-bot" -v $(pwd)/config.py:/bot/config.py akbk-bot

This will create the Docker image from the repo and then start a new container named "akbkuku-discord-bot" with the config.py file mapped through (meaning you can modify the config and simply restart the container to reload it)

Setup - Manual

If you'd rather install the bot without Docker, you can use the following commands;

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 AkBBot.py

You'll probably want to find a daemon to use, such as Systemd to ensure the bot starts at boot time & recovers from any crashes.
