a robot that rates pokémon

pokemon rates

is a mastodon bot that rates pokémon. it can be found at pokemonrates@botsin.space

running

these instructions are probably not for you

natively

make sure python 3.12ish or higher is installed, and that you're in a venv

# install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# configure
cp bot.example.yml bot.yml
$EDITOR bot.yml

# run
python run.py

docker

# build docker image
docker buildx build -t pokemonrates .

# configure
cp bot.example.yml bot.yml
$EDITOR bot.yml

# run
docker run -d -v /absolute/path/to/bot.yml:/app/bot.yml pokemonrates

--restart unless-stopped may be a wise addition to that docker run command

scraping pokemon names

this scrapes names of pokémon from bulbapedia. it's bad but i don't have anything better

natively

python scrape_pokemon.py > pokemon.txt

docker

docker buildx build -t pokemonrates:scrape --target scrape .
docker run --rm pokemonrates:scrape > pokemon.txt

note that you'll need to rebuild the bot's main docker image to include the new list of pokémon
