Hammer

A Discord bot for managing infractions against misbehaving users.

About

Hammer is a Discord bot which provides features to issue infractions to misbehaving users.

Installing and configuring Hammer

Hammer runs in a Docker container, and there is a docker-compose.yaml file which simplifies this process.

Clone the repository

To start off, clone the repository into your desired directory:

git clone https://github.com/BrackeysBot/Hammer.git

Step into the Hammer directory using cd Hammer, and continue with the steps below.

Setting things up

The bot's token is passed to the container using the DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable. Create a file named .env, and add the following line:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_token_here

Two directories are required to exist for Docker compose to mount as container volumes, data and logs:

mkdir data
mkdir logs

Copy the example config.example.json to data/config.json, and assign the necessary config keys. Below is breakdown of the config.json layout:

{
  "GUILD_ID": {
    "logChannel": /* The ID of the log channel */,
    "primaryColor": /* The primary branding colour, as a 24-bit RGB integer. Defaults to #7837FF */,
    "secondaryColor": /* The secondary branding colour, as a 24-bit RGB integer. Defaults to #E33C6C */,
    "tertiaryColor": /* The tertiary branding colour, as a 24-bit RGB integer. Defaults to #FFE056 */,
    "urgentReportThreshold": /* How many message reports until the bot uses @ everyone instead of @ here. Defaults to 5  */,
    "mute": {
      "gagDuration": /* The duration of a gag, in milliseconds. Defaults to 5 minutes */,
      "maxModeratorMuteDuration": /* The maximum duration that a Moderator is allowed to mute, in milliseconds. Defaults to 14 days */
    },
    "reactions": {
      "deleteMessageReaction": /* The fallback reaction to delete messages, in Discord format. Defautls to 🗑️ (:wastebasket:) */,
      "gagReaction": /* The fallback reaction to gag users, in Discord format. Defautls to 🔇 (:mute:) */,
      "historyReaction": /* The fallback reaction to view infraction history, in Discord format. Defautls to 🕓 (:clock4:) */,
      "reportReaction": /* The fallback reaction to report messages, in Discord format. Defautls to 🚩 (:triangular_flag_on_post:) */
    },
    "roles": {
      "administratorRoleId": /* The ID of the Admin role */,
      "guruRoleId": /* The ID of the Guru role */,
      "moderatorRoleId": /* The ID of the Mod role */,
      "mutedRoleId": /* The ID of the muted role */
    }
  }
}

The logs directory is used to store logs in a format similar to that of a Minecraft server. latest.log will contain the log for the current day and current execution. All past logs are archived.

The data directory is used to store persistent state of the bot, such as config values and the infraction database.

To launch Hammer, simply run the following commands:

sudo docker-compose build
sudo docker-compose up --detach

Updating Hammer

To update Hammer, simply pull the latest changes from the repo and restart the container:

git pull
sudo docker-compose stop

sudo docker-compose up --detach
