NEWS

• 2019-12-11: beardslave will now create new channels and webhooks for you!
• 2020-08-23: Added a new NPR command!

Deployment Steps

• npm update
• npm i -g typescript ts-node
• npm i discord.js @types/node better-sqlite3 @types/better-sqlite3 (run in the beardslave directory, it needs package.json)
• Create webhook, retrieve it's ID and token
• Copy private-config.json.copyme to private-config.json, fill it in
• Fill in the friend codes spreadsheet link

These next steps are for urMom.ts; if you remove that functionality, you don't need them. I don't know what the corresponding commands are on Windows.

• Get a google API key and store it to "google-key.json" in the config directory
• apt install mysql-client default-libmysqlclient-dev
• Install python3 and pip for Python3
• pip3 install pattern

If you get errors relating to Python when trying to npm update and the like, run this: npm --add-python-to-path='true' --debug install --global windows-build-tools

SQL

• From the data folder, run bash load-public.sh
• Copy load-private.sh.copyme to load-private.sh
• Fill in the webhooks
• Run bash load-private.sh

Creating new channels

2019-12-15: You don't need to issue the sqlite command yourself anymore; just run the shell script ./add-channel.sh <channel> <role> to update SQL.

• Add the channel to channels.sqlite:
• cd beardslave/data
• sqlite3 channels.sqlite
• insert into channels values('(channel name)', '(role to access it)', '', '');
• Restart beardslave (!restart)

Enabling beardslave for new channels

2019-12-11: you can skip adding the webhook; beardslave will create one for you!

• Add the webhook to the channel
  • Go to channel settings -> Webhooks
  • Add webhook.
  • Check the URL of the webhook. It will be http://https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/{ID}/{token}
• Add the channel's token & ID to channels.sqlite
  • cd beardslave/data
  • sqlite3 channels.sqlite
  • UPDATE channels SET webhookID='(ID)', webhookToken='(token)' WHERE channel='(channel name)'
• Add the channel to the array in public-config.json
  • cd beardslave/src/config
  • vim public-config.json
• Restart beardslave (!restart)
