Cyber Discovery Discord Bot

The bot for the Cyber Discovery Community Discord Server!

Installation

Creating a Bot Token

First, head over to the Discord Developer Portal and create an application. Set a name, then go to the bots tab (on the left) and add a new bot. For testing purposes, it is best to have the bot private, so untick the Public Bot option.

You should then get the client ID of your bot and put it into this URL to join it to your Discord server:

https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=<insert client id here>&scope=bot&

Docker Compose

You can run Cyber Discovery Bot most easily with Docker Compose. Just set the following environment variables and run docker-compose up -d.

• BOT_TOKEN
• QUOTES_BOT_ID
• QUOTES_CHANNEL_ID
• LOGGING_CHANNEL_ID

Bare Metal

You can also locally install the bot on your system. First install the dependencies with Poetry:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
poetry install

Or on Windows:

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py -UseBasicParsing).Content | python
poetry install

If you don't already have the required Python version (currently 3.8+) installed, install pyenv before running the above commands.

You will then need to set the bot token as an environment variable:

export BOT_TOKEN="<insert bot token here>"

Or on Windows:

set BOT_TOKEN="<insert bot token here>"

Finally, run the command poetry run cdbot in the root of the repository to run the bot on your machine. To access admin commands of the bot, set the environment variable ROOT_MEMBERS_ID to the ID of your administrators group.
