tda-api
Helper BotA bot that listens on tda-api server traffic and chimes in whenever it feels a user is asking a frequently-asked question.
It listens on incoming messages and matches them against a configured list of trigger prompts. When one of those prompts triggers, it responds to the message with a (hopefully) helpful link to the appropriate FAQ page. It avoids showing the same message to users over and over again by maintaining a database of the messages each user has triggered.
This bot is packaged as a docker container. I use an M1 MacBook, the
Dockerfile
builds an image using the arm64v8
version of Alpine Linux.
This also happens to be suitable for deployment to a Raspberry Pi 4B.
To deploy, first build the docker container:
.. code-block:: bash cd /tda-api/repo/path/discord_help_bot docker build .
Create the volume on which you'll store the state DB:
.. code-block:: bash docker volume create discord_bot_state
docker images
Initialize the state:
.. code-block:: bash docker run -t -v discord_bot_state:/sqlite <IMAGE_ID> init --sqlite_db_file /sqlite/state.sqlite_db
Start the bot:
.. code-block:: bash docker run -t -v discord_bot_state:/sqlite <IMAGE_ID> run --token <DISCORD_TOKEN> --sqlite_db_file /sqlite/state.sqlite_db
