Clocks for your Discord servers. Updates every five minutes due to API restrictions.
I was running up against the memory limits of my DO Droplet, so I decided to rewrite some of the smaller projects I had there in Go. In this case, doing so cut the memory usage of the clock bot in slightly more than half.
Make sure you have a bot token for the Discord API.
Download the program and Go v1.15+, install the dependencies, and run go build to create the executable. Alternatively, pick up the (possibly outdated, check the commit hash) pre-built Windows binary from here.
Set the environment variable DISCLOCKS_BOT_TOKEN to your bot token.
Set mod_roles in the configuration file generated on the first run to an array of strings including role IDs authorized
to modify server clocks.
^addclock <channel ID> <tz timezone> [custom abbreviation]: Creates a clock on voice channel <channel ID>. You can get
channel IDs by enabling Developer Mode in Settings->Appearance and then right-clicking on a channel to "Copy ID".
This should only be used on voice channels, since they can have spaces and capital letters in their names.
Example: ^addclock 637737139022462987 America/Los_Angeles
This creates a clock on channel 637737139022462987 with a time in PST or PDT.
Example: ^addclock 637737139022462987 America/Los_Angeles PDT
This creates a clock on channel 637737139022462987 with a time in PST or PDT, but it will have the label PDT no
matter what, even if it is incorrect.
^removeclock <channel ID>: Removes a clock from a voice channel.
