About RailwayBot

RailwayBot is an open source companion bot for railway users, made for fulfilling the needs of knowing if you've got a memory leak, or one of your services has crashed, all from the comfort of discord.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Since this bot is made in typescript, it uses discord.js, and other packages, so make sure you have both node and npm installed.

Installation

  1. Clone the repo

    git clone https://github.com/LaCrak27/RailwayBot.git

  2. Install NPM packages

    npm i

  3. Create an application on discord's developer portal and get it's bot token. (help)

  4. Get a railway api token linked to your account. (help)

  5. Prepare your enviroment file (.env)

     DISCORDTOKEN=(discord bot token)
 LOGCHANNEL=(channel id for deployment and crash logs)
 USAGECHANNEL=(channel id for usage reports)
 RAILWAYAPIKEY=(railway api key)
 TEAMID=(Team ID (only populate if you are gonna use a team token))

Usage

If you only intend on using the bot, then you can just clone the repository, host it on your hosting platform of choice filling all the enviroment variables (we all know what that platform is don't we), and invite the resulting bot to your server.

After this is done, you need to add a webhook to railway for every project you intend on logging its crashes/deployments. Said webhook must point to "<YourBot's URL>/railway".
