iM@S Image Bot

This is a bot powered by bash-atproto that posts random images of 765 Production idols.

NOTE: This script will not work properly on macOS due to using sed -i.

bash-atproto

Information about bash-atproto is currently in the 765coverbot repo.

imasimgbot uses all of its functions except postToBluesky.

Dependencies

bash-atproto needs, at minimum:

• curl 7.76.0 or later.

• jq

Posting images (required by imasimgbot) additionally requires:

• imagemagick (convert and identify)
• exiftool

The other dependencies (like uuidgen) should come with your Linux distro.

Setup

Like 765coverbot, this is intended to be ran on an always-on system behind a router. This does not require direct internet access and ideally the server shouldn't have it.

The bot can be installed with these commands (as root):

1. Go to /usr/local/bin and git clone this repository

2. Create the data directory and its required structure.

3. Run the main script with the init-secrets parameter and provide all the individual bots their Bluesky handle and app password:

   ./imasimgbot.sh init-secrets

4. Run imasimgbot.sh with the parameter --install which will install and enable the bot service

5. Start the bot with systemctl start imasimgbot

To uninstall the bot, stop the bot with systemctl stop imasimgbot then run the script as root with the parameter --uninstall which will disable and remove the service file. Then you can remove the directory /usr/local/bin/imasimgbot to fully remove the bot.
