bog-oracle-discobot

Using $BOG oracles to show live price in a discord bot

Setup

1. Install python3.8 (or higher) and pip
2. Determine your discord server's Guild ID and add to .env as GUILD_ID=YOURID
3. For each token you want to track in a bot:
   1. Create an app on discord: https://discord.com/developers/applications
   2. Add a bot to the app
   3. Copy the bot token and add MY_BOT_TOKEN=YOURTOKENHERE to .env according to the discord_token_key you have set in your config.yml
   4. DO NOT COMMIT .env! This would allow anyone to hijack your bots!
4. (optional) make a virtualenv: virtualenv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
5. If you are on a cloud provider, you may need: apt install python3.8-dev build-essential
6. pip install -r requirements.txt

Run

python bot.py

(note: on a cloud provider you may want to use nohup to ensure the bot continues running after you have disconnected, but a future release here will include upstart documentation)

Install as a systemd service

The discordbot can also be installed as an auto-restarting service in systemd:

1. sudo cp ~/path/to/existing/BOGOracle-Examples-DiscordBot /opt/BOGOracle-Examples-DiscordBot
2. sudo chown youruser:youruser /opt/BOGOracle-Examples-DiscordBot
3. sudo cp /opt/BOGOracle-Examples-DiscordBot/systemd/bog-discord-bot.service /etc/systemd/system/bog-discord-bot.service
4. sudo systemctl start bog-discord-bot
5. Confirm it is running: sudo systemctl status bog-discord-bot
