Boteki

Simple versatile Discord bot to automate dOrg tweets through emoji votes. You can deploy on your own cloud using docker.

Get started

1. Get API keys for Twitter

2. Set up Discord Bot account and add it to your server. Make sure roles and permissions allow the bot to see the channel where you're sending your commands.

3. Create a MongoAtlas database and configure connections.

4. Clone this repo

5. Set your .env file with these variables,

DISCORD_TOKEN=yourdiscordtoken
DISCORD_GUILD=name of your server

TWITTER_SECRET=twitterapi
TWITTER_CLIENT=twitterkey

ATLAS=database
MONGO_DB_NAME=collection  

1. Deploy the Docker container with the command docker build -t boteki . and docker run boteki.

Once the bot is running you can call the following commands:

• !tweet : Set up an emoji vote poll of the tweett and log it in a database
• !validate: Looks up all the tweets logged on the database, updates the score if possible, and tweets or schedules the tweet.
• !plznuke: Resets the existing database. use this if the bot breaks during development. Remove this function from the bot before bringing to production to avoid trouble.
