DigBot

About

DigBot is a custom discord bot ran on the DIG community's discord server, it was originally created to fulfil all the functionality of the current bots that were on the server and allow the community to implement any feature's they desired.

Usage

DigBot is releases as a Docker image on Docker Hub. Pull the latest version using docker pull dignityofwar/digbot:latest. Further requirements are a MariaDB database.

To configure DigBot the following environment variables:

• DISCORD_TOKEN: a Discord Bot application token, which can be created in the Discord developer portal;
• DB_HOST: the host address of MariaDB(default localhost);
• DB_PORT: the port at which MariaDB is exposed(default 3306);
• DB_NAME: the database name(default digbot);
• DB_USER: the username to login to MariaDB(default diglet);
• DB_PASS: the password to login to MariaDB(default pass).

Technical requirements

DigBot is written in Typescript on top of the NestJS framework and requires Node.js v16+. Internally it uses Detritus, and Mikro ORM to manage the connections to Discord, and MariaDB respectively. Whenever the bot is started it will try to update the database using migrations, with the exception when NODE_ENV is equal to development(this is the default).

Code Usage

The project is open-sourced under the MIT license.
