RossBot2000

About

Someone added Mee6 to a Discord server and created a custom command. When asked to create a second, they pointed out that you are limited to just one. After pointing out that they could easily make something to handle multiple commands, I figured I should probably make sure that it's actually easy. And thus RossBot2000 was born.

Requirements

RossBot2000 is written in .NET 8 using the Discord.Net package. It will run on any system supported by .NET 8. You will need to have an active Discord account to be able to create the application/bot and to add it to a server.

Usage

1. Create a new Discord application.
2. Under Settings > Bot, add a bot and give your bot a cool name.
3. Under Settings > OAuth2 > URL Generator, select the bot scope, then under General Permissions select "Read Messages/View Channels" and select everything under Text Permissions.
4. Click the Copy button, and visit that URL.
5. Add your bot to your server.
6. Customize the appsettings.json file to your needs.
7. Run the bot with dotnet run.

SystemD

The contents of my /etc/systemd/system/rossbot2000 are as follows:

[Unit]
Description=RossBot2000
DefaultDependencies=false
Before=basic.target shutdown.target
Conflicts=shutdown.target

[Service]
Type=notify
User=rnelson
Group=rnelson
ExecStart=/bin/sh /opt/rossbot.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The script it calls simply runs dotnet run with the specific environment I want:

#!/bin/sh
(cd /opt/RossBot2000 && dotnet run --environment RossBot2000)
