Simple discord bot to verify member emails and apply roles according to our directory.

- Put following secrets in the
.envfileDISCORD_TOKEN, CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID, AWS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET, AWS_REGION, GOOGLE_API_KEY, SHEET_ID, SERVER_ID, MONGO_PASSWORD,
Run npm run dev to start the discord bot.
This is hosted on an AWS Free Tier EC2 Instance. To deploy the server, first launch the instance and install nodejs and nvm using this guide.
Then, clone this repository, and run npn i to install the packages, and run nvm use to install the correct version of nodejs.
Next, run npm i -g forever, which is a package that allows us to run our server as a daemon so we don't have to worry about restarting the server if it breaks. Also, populate .env with the secrets from development.
To start the server, run forever start -c 'node index.js' ./, and you can verify that it started by running forever list, which should show the uptime and log file path.
To redeploy, pull changes from git and run forever restartall.
If the log file for forever changes as denoted by forever list, then you will have to update the AWS Cloudwatch config file, which is stored in /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/config.json. In that case, edit log_file_path to point to the new log file. Finally, run
sudo /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent-ctl -a fetch-config -m ec2 -c file:/opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/config.json -sto restart the Cloudwatch agent.
