A Discord bot for managing slowmode.
Stopwatch is a Discord bot which manages slowmode in text channels. The logic of this bot mirrors the implementation of SlothBot by The Programmer's Hangout, and essentially serves as a C# port of that bot. You can view the original SlothBot implementation here.
Stopwatch runs in a Docker container, and there is a docker-compose.yaml file which simplifies this process.
To start off, clone the repository into your desired directory:
git clone https://github.com/BrackeysBot/Stopwatch.gitStep into the Stopwatch directory using cd Stopwatch, and continue with the steps below.
The bot's token is passed to the container using the DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable. Create a file named .env, and add the following line:
DISCORD_TOKEN=your_token_here
Two directories are required to exist for Docker compose to mount as container volumes, data and logs:
mkdir data
mkdir logsThe bot currently makes no use of a configuration file, so while the data directory is required, it can be empty.
The logs directory is used to store logs in a format similar to that of a Minecraft server. latest.log will contain the log for the current day and current execution. All past logs are archived.
The data directory is used to store persistent state of the bot, such as config values and the infraction database.
To launch Stopwatch, simply run the following commands:
sudo docker-compose build
sudo docker-compose up --detachTo update Stopwatch, simply pull the latest changes from the repo and restart the container:
git pull
sudo docker-compose stop
sudo docker-compose build
sudo docker-compose up --detachFor further usage breakdown and explanation of commands, see USAGE.md.
