Luzifer / twitch-bot

Twitch-Bot is intended as an alternative to having a bot managed by Streamlabs or Streamelements and therefore having more control over it, the availability and how it works.

At the moment it is a work-in-progress and does not yet implment all features it shall in the future.

Database Connection Strings

Currently these databases are supported and need their corresponding connection strings:

MySQL

[username[:password]@][protocol[(address)]]/dbname[?param1=value1&...&paramN=valueN]

Recommended parameters:
  ?charset=utf8mb4&parseTime=True&loc=Local

• Create your database as follows:

  CREATE DATABASE twbot_tezrian DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

• Start your bot:

  # twitch-bot \
      --storage-conn-type mysql \
      --storage-conn-string 'tezrian:mypass@tcp(mariadb:3306)/twbot_tezrian?charset=utf8mb4&parseTime=True&loc=Local' \
      ...

See driver documentation for more details on parameters.

Postgres

host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mydb connect_timeout=10

See Postgres documentation for more details in paramters.

SQLite

storage.db

Just pass the filename you want to use.

• Start your bot:

  # twitch-bot \
      --storage-conn-type sqlite \
      --storage-conn-string 'storage.db' \
      ...
