Dependencies given are required to make sense out of the following code. Which was also worked on during this submission as a contribution.
Please review concurrencyparser as this is a main module used to parse the message queries in the server.
The bot is hosted on a Synology server. The reason Heroku was not used is due to the free Heroku version requiring that given environment variable PORT is bound to by a active web service. If this web service does not have any incoming requests at least once an hour, the Heroku dyno will go idle and the Bot will die.
A Docker solution was created in stead to support cross platform hosting. It requires golang 1.8 and glide. Prebuild version can be found on Docker hub. Note. See Setting up from scratch for required environment variables.
Clicking this link will add the bot to your server. The bot instantly replies to any new message events and have no commands. The only requirements required is to read messages and send messages.
If you want this bot to only work on one channel, simply deactivate message permissions for @everyone and give the bot message permissions on desired channel.
Required environment variables, regardless of hosting solution, are:
- IMT_BOT_TOKEN
- IMT_BOT_COMMAND_PREFIX
IMT_BOT_TOKEN is required, and the bot will not run without it. This is the Discord token found in the developer sites.
IMT_BOT_COMMAND_PREFIX is optional, and honestly not needed. It defines what the command invoker prefix is. By default mention is used to invoke commands, but this bot does not have any commands yet.
