discac

discac - small program to change your discord bot's avatar.

Reason

I need to periodically change avatars for my discord bots.
I think small program that will run periodically triggered by native system timer is better than integrating this functionality in every bot.

Building

Requires: git, cargo

1. git clone https://github.com/TanteiBot/discac.git
2. cd discac/
3. sh ./scripts/publish-x86-64-Linux.sh
4. Executable and sample config will be located in output directory

Installation and running, currently supported only on x86-64 Linux with GNU libc

Requires wget

1. wget https://github.com/N0D4N/discac/releases/latest/download/x86_64-linux.zip
2. unzip x86_64-linux.zip
3. Fill your bot token and paths to directories where bot's avatars are located to temp.config.json
4. Rename temp.config.json to config.json
5. You are ready to go

Follow next steps for using with systemd timer

1. sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/discac
2. Choose a name for a profile. discac supports updating profiles of multiple bots with one executable. For differentiating between them profiles are used.
3. Copy next command and replace first profile_name at its start with name of profile you have chosen earlier.
4. (export DISCAC_PROFILE_NAME=profile_name ; sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin/discac/profiles/"$DISCAC_PROFILE_NAME" && sudo cp config.json /usr/local/bin/discac/profiles/"$DISCAC_PROFILE_NAME" && sudo cp discac /usr/local/bin/discac/ && sudo cp -r systemd/* /etc/systemd/system/)
5. sudo systemctl daemon-reload
6. Next command will enable timer to run discac every 12h, you can change it by editing discac@.timer file. Replace profile_name in it with profile name you have chosen earlier.
   sudo systemctl enable --now discac@profile_name.timer
