sarcasm-bot

For those times when adding a little sArCaSm is all that's needed to get the point across, but you can't be bothered with all that pesky capitalisation. All it takes is a !mock @user command and the bot will grab the last text message the user posted to the channel and it'll repost that message with a sprinkle of sarcasm.

Dev setup

• Clone down the repo

• run npm install

• Follow jagrosh's super handy guide for adding bots to your Discord server

• Make a copy auth.json.example and rename the copy to auth.json

• Add your auth key to the auth.json file you just created

• run npm start

Production setup

Support has been added for running this via docker, strongly recommended for your sanity because nobody wants to babysit a process running in PM2 anymore - let docker handle it. You could also throw it into k8s this way if you're so inclined.

To run this via docker;

docker run -d -e BOT_TOKEN=YourAuthTokenHere -e BOT_PREFIX=! docker.pkg.github.com/dlmousey/sarcasm-bot/sarcasm-bot:latest

To run via docker-compose;

services:
  sarcasm:
    image: docker.pkg.github.com/dlmousey/sarcasm-bot/sarcasm-bot:latest
    environment:
      - BOT_TOKEN=YourAuthTokenHere
      - BOT_PREFIX=!

Supported environment variables

The bot's behaviour can be tweaked by setting environment variables when you run the docker image

Key	Description	Required	Default
BOT_TOKEN	Auth token used to authenticate the bot with discord	Yes	n/a
BOT_PREFIX	The character used to denote a command (eg. !mock)	Yes	!
BOT_RATELIMIT	The amount of time users must wait between commands	No	3

If either required environment variable is missing the bot will fall back to attempting to load them from auth.json and bot.config.json, neither of which are included in the docker image so that will fail.
