Llama bot

The Llama bot is a discord bot made for the LP community discord server.

Setting up

Pre-requirements

• Node.js 16.6.0+
• yarn
• A Discord account
• A Google Firebase account
• A sacrifice to be given to the llama gods (no longer needed)

Discord

1. Create a new application from the Discord Developer Portal. Select one if you already have it.
2. Go to the Bot tab and convert your application to a discord bot. Be cautious since this operation is NOT REVERSIBLE.
3. Copy the bot token. This will be used during the Server setup.

Firebase

1. Head over to https://console.firebase.google.com and create a firebase project.
2. Enable firestore database.
3. Generate and download the service account key. This will be used during the Server setup.

Server

• Assumes UNIX-like environment (Linux, BSD, Mac, etc.)

   git clone https://github.com/llama-bot/llama-bot.git
   

   cd llama-bot
   

2. Install dependencies.

   yarn install
   

3. Create .env file in the project root and put the discord bot token generated during the Discord setup.

   PREFIX_PROD=PUT_PRODUCTION_DEFAULT_PREFIX_HERE
   PREFIX_DEV=PUT_DEVELOPMENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_HERE

4. Create secret directory in the src directory, rename the firebase admin key generated during the Firebase setup to firebase-adminsdk.json, and put it in the secret directory.

5. Build the bot.

   yarn build
   

6. Install pm2 globally.

   yarn global add pm2
