Gugutoyer

A decidedly over-engineered bot that creates toys that might or might not have been part of our childhood.

...And shove them in social media for our terror

How does this run?

Gugutoyer.Bot is the entrypoint project.

How does one run this?

I mean, first of all you need a database, unless you're only releasing Special Editions. In that case, you can remove the whole repository portion...

There are somewhat flaky scripts to create the tables and the user in a MySQL/MariaDB schema available, as well as a fairly flaky CSV containing all words needed.

Now, for actually running... It should be something like

dotnet run src/Gugutoyer.Bot/Gugutoyer.Bot.csproj

How about a cronjob?

Well, why not? do something like this to run it hourly. Included in the cron folder.

Throw it in your /etc/cron.d/.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

0 * * * * root dotnet /gugu/Gugutoyer/src/Gugutoyer.Bot/bin/Release/net7.0/Gugutoyer.Bot.dll

What is the license on this thing?

GNU AGPL v3. Hopefully.
