Instructions and Resources for Deploying and Developing AutoMuteUs

Pre-Installation Steps, Important!

Create an Application and Bot account (requires Admin privileges on the Server in question). Instructions here

Now follow any of the specific hosting options provided below:

Docker Compose:

Docker compose is the simplest and recommended method for self-hosting AutoMuteUs, but it does require an existing physical machine or VPS to run on.

There is a docker-compose.yml file in this repository that will provide all the constituent components to run AutoMuteUs.

Steps:

Install Docker and Docker Compose on the machine you will be using to host AutoMuteUs
Download the docker-compose.yml from this repository, and create a .env file in the same directory that will contain your Environment Variables. On Linux/UNIX systems you can use touch .env to create this file, but a template sample.env is provided in this repository for reference.
Provide your specific Environment Variables in the .env file, as relevant to your configuration. Please see the Environment Variables reference further down in this Readme for details, as well as the sample.env provided.
Run docker-compose pull. This will download the latest built Docker images from Dockerhub that are required to run AutoMuteUs.
Run docker-compose up -d to start all the containers required for AutoMuteUs to function. The containers will now be running in the background, but you can view the logs for the containers using docker-compose logs, or docker-compose logs -f to follow along as new log entries are generated.

unRAID

unRAID hosting steps are are not yet updated for v3.0+ of AutoMuteUs, and as such is not supported at this time.

Heroku

Heroku hosting steps are are not yet updated for v3.0+ of AutoMuteUs, and as such is not supported at this time.

FreeBSD

AutoMuteUs exists in the FreeBSD Ports tree as games/automuteus. Instructions are included in the Port.

Old version

If, for whatever reason, you really want to self host, but also don't want to figure out Docker or use Windows and hate Docker because of it (I don't blame you) you can self host 2.4.3 instead. If you are using this method, continue using the newest capture!

Development Instructions

The easiest way to test changes is to use docker-compose, but instead of using a pre-built image, building the automuteus docker image from source. Thankfully, this is easy to do:

In the docker-compose.yml comment out the line image: denverquane/amongusdiscord:${AUTOMUTEUS_TAG:?err} and uncomment the build . line.
Make any changes to the code or sql file that you would like.
Use the command docker-compose build to build the set of docker images with your change
Start the stack with docker-compose up

Just remember that you will need to do a rebuild of the docker images every time you make a change.

Environment Variables

Required

GALACTUS_ADDR: Address at which Galactus is accessible. Typically something like http://localhost:5858 (or see docker-compose.yml)
REDIS_ADDR: The host and port at which your Redis database instance is accessible. Ex: 192.168.1.42:6379
POSTGRES_ADDR: Address (host:port) at which Postgres is accessible. Used by automuteus to store game statistics.
POSTGRES_USER: Username for authentication with Postgres.
POSTGRES_PASS: Password for authentication with Postgres.

Optional

EMOJI_GUILD_ID: If your bot is a member of multiple guilds, this ID can be used to specify the single guild that it should use for emojis (no need to add the emojis to ALL servers).
HOST: The externally-accessible URL for Galactus. For example, http://test.com:8123. This is used to provide the linking URI to the capture, via the Direct Message the bot sends you when typing .au new. You must specify http:// or https:// accordingly, and specify the port if non-8123. For example, https://your-app.herokuapp.com:443
LOCALE_PATH: Path to localization files. Defaults to ./locales
LOG_PATH: Filesystem path for log files. Defaults to ./
CAPTURE_TIMEOUT: How many seconds of no capture events received before the Bot will terminate the associated game/connection. Defaults to 36000 seconds.
REDIS_PASS: Your Redis database password, if necessary.
AUTOMUTEUS_LISTENING: What the bot displays it is "Listening to" in the online presence message. Recommend putting your custom command prefix here
AUTOMUTEUS_GLOBAL_PREFIX: A universal default for the bot's command prefix. The bot will respond to both this prefix, and any guild-specific prefixes set in settings.

Galactus

Galactus is a program used to speed up muting and deafening (which is typically constrained by Discord rate-limits). It allows for an arbitrary number of tokens to be provided for faster muting/deafening, but also supports capture-side bots. A guide to setup your own capture-side bot can be found here, and the repo for Galactus is here.
