discordBot (very basic instructions)

Running the bot on linux

1. install maven
2. run mvn clean install to compile the bot
3. configure the bot using the config files, see database.properties.example and servers.json.example for examples
4. run java -jar target/discordBot-1.0.jar to run the bot

Running the discord bot on heroku

1. create a dyno(free tier)
2. add the heroku postgres add-on to the dyno (free tier)
3. connect to this github repo as a depolyment method
4. manually deploy the bot
5. configure the environment variables by setting the config vars in the settings
6. add values for BOT_TOKEN and SERVERS_JSON, the DATABASE_URL should already be set by the postgres add on
7. enable the dyno

Notes

Bot must have a role above every member that it might want to change the role of (this can be done with a dummy role that adds no other permissions if wanted)
