A simple Discord bot for Advent Of Code
You'll need to create a discord bot of your own in the Discord Developer Portal with View Channels and Read Messages permissions. It's also handy if you have an empty server (or "guild") for you to test in. This section of this guide may be helpful to set that up.
You'll need to set three environment variables:
- DISCORD TOKEN -> The Discord token for the bot you created (Available on your bot page in the developer portal)
- AOC_LEADERBOARD_ID -> The leaderboard ID of your private leaderboard
- AOC_COOKIE -> Your Advent Of Code session cookie so the bot has permission to view your private leaderboard (You can extract this from your web browser after signing in to AoC)
- CHANNEL_NAME -> The name of the channel the bot should respond to requests in
- CURRENT_YEAR -> The default year to request
You can put these in a .env file in the repo directory as it uses dotenv (See here for usage) so you don't have to keep them in your environment
docker compose up --build
First install the dependencies:
pip install -U Discord.py python-dotenv
Then run the main file:
python src/main.py
In short, patches welcome.
If you raise a PR, I'll test it, give some feedback and then (eventually) merge it.
