Adding control via discord bot

[coolpilot904]

I would like to add the ability to use a discord bot to control things like restarting the supervisor, terminating the program and and starting it. I was able to get a bot using discord.js running inside of 2based2wait by doing the following:

• adding const Discord = require('./util/discord.js'); to proxy.js
• adding discord.js to the util folder

My bot is currently very simple, when you say "!hi" it responds with "hello!" in any discord server it is added to. But nonetheless it does work. Do any of you have any idea of you could make it able to run those commands or if it is even possible? Thank you!

I'm glad to hear that you're extending your proxy!

"[Do] you have any idea [if] you could make it able to run those commands or if it is even possible?"

• If you're asking about creating a bot with Discord.js, see Discord.js's documentation. You could also ask in the Discord.js Discord if you have questions about using Discord.js.
• If you're asking about "restarting the supervisor, terminating the program [and] starting it":
  • You can use existing functions as a guide on how to restart/start the proxy (e.g. restart function, start function)
    • However, these things are not too complicated, so you could just write in your own implementations.
  • You may want to read the Supervisor docs to see how to programmatically call it.
  • Or, you could remove Supervisor and have the bot manage uptime/restarting/et cetera manually to make it easier to work with in Discord.js and separate your Discord.js bot from the proxy for cleaner code.

In short, creating a Discord bot interface for all of those things (and more) is 100% possible. There is also a fork of 2based2wait with a GUI web interface that you may want to look at for inspiration.
