mysteriousbot

A Discord bot that mainly sits in the Aurora Dynamics server and assists in trolling Peeky.

Running

Running the bot yourself requires a few setup steps.

Create a Discord App for your bot at discord.com.
In that app under the "bot" tab, create a bot. You can name it and give it a picture, but for testing purposes this is unnecessary.
Add it to a Discord server, either one you already control or create a new bot playground server for testing. To add it to your server you will need the client id of the app you just created, which is located in the OAuth2 section of your app's configuration panel. Plop the id into a URL formatted like the following.
```
https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<<CLIENT_ID>>&scope=bot&permissions=268552256
```
Visit that URL in your browser, you should have a list of servers that you can add your bot to. If you do not see any servers, either you have already added the bot or you don't have the permission to add it to the server you want to add it to.
Now that you have the bot set up in Discord's API, you can run the bot locally, which connects to Discord's servers. Running the bot requires a token which is issued by the Discord server at the app page from before, under the bot page. Keep this token safe, it gives anyone who has it the ability to connect as your bot!
```
# Linux and Mac
DISCORD_TOKEN='' cargo run
# Windows PowerShell
$env:DISCORD_TOKEN = ''
cargo run
```

Deploying

Put the built program on a machine and run it. If you're patching it for A0RA use, then the process of deploying is very complicated: poke Necrothitude until he does it (he hasn't set up automation because things seldom change).

If you're, for some reason, doing this yourself, these are Necrothitude's notes on the matter. They may be of some help for you!

Prepare the server

ssh mysteriouspants.com:
    # create user
    sudo adduser --disabled-password mysteriousbot
    # enable ssh for this user - this is how we rsync new releases up
    sudo mkdir -p ~mysteriousbot/.ssh
    sudo cp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys  ~mysteriousbot/.ssh/authorized_keys
    sudo chown mysteriousbot:mysteriousbot ~mysteriousbot/.ssh/authorized_keys
    sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/mysteriousbot.service

The service file ought to look like this:

[Unit]
Description=Discord Chat Bot
After=network.target

[Service]
type=simple
User=cmdr
WorkingDirectory=/home/mysteriousbot
Environment="DISCORD_TOKEN=YOUR DISCORD TOKEN HERE"
ExecStart=/home/mysteriousbot/mysteriousbot
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Finally, run deploy.sh locally to build a release build and rsync the results up, and kick the service on. You should mark the service to start on boot as well. Because wild reboots happen.

local:
    ./deploy.sh
ssh mysteriouspants.com:
    sudo systemctl enable mysteriousbot
