Bolt

A Discord guild moderation bot for managing large servers.

Project status

Due to highly questionable privacy practices from Discord's side, bolt, in its Discord bot form, is no longer actively maintained.

Running locally

Initial setup:

• Set the environment variable BOT_TOKEN to your bot token
• Set the environment variable PGSQL_URL to your PostgreSQL database URL, e.g. postgres://user:pass@host/dbname
• mix deps.get
• mix ecto.migrate --all

Running with iex:

• iex -S mix

Deployment

I deploy via Ansible, see ansible/README.md for details.

Configuration

You can configure the prefix used by using the environment variable BOT_PREFIX. If you want to, you can set up a bot log channel with the BOTLOG_CHANNEL environment variable - set this to the channel ID that you want bot events logged in.

To configure the users able to use the sudo commands, set the SUPERUSERS environment variable to a colon (:) separated list of user IDs that can use these commands.

Monitoring

Bolt runs a Munin node on port 4950. Metrics can be seen here: https://munin.jchri.st/jchri.st/spock/bolt/index.html
