Betty is a Discord bot to unify all the needs of Belux vACC.
Betty is vaguely based on Elizabeth and replicates functionality of Babs, two previous bots. Elizabeth was built by Jeroen, Babs by Stef (not the author of this bot).
Betty makes gorgeous announcements, whether it's publishing your local events or informing ATC of new LoA's, Betty keeps everyone on the same page.
Betty lets you talk, automatically creating and deleting voice channels as needed, no longer is unrelated ATC talking over each other!
Do you have people asking for backup in a channel? Betty will clean your messes, removing old messages as needed.
With live updating statistics and an overview of online stations, Betty keeps everyone on the same page. Pilots and controllers alike can now quickly check if there's traffic or ATC, without opening yet another app.
Have trouble scheduling ATC for your events? Betty does scheduling bookkeeping, automatically creating Threads for booking, posting rosters and switching to a debrief channel when the event is over.
And of course, Betty is flexible. You can configure, tweak, or disable any of her features as you need them. Let her help you today!
Most configuration is done via a config.json file.
You will find an example in this repo, as well as stricter typings and descriptions in config.ts.
If you use the Docker image, you will have to mount this,
or make your own, derived, image that includes it.
Our provided docker-compose.yml includes some example mounting configuration.
A very limited subset of sensitive configuration options are set via environment variable or .env file.
You will find these documented in .env.example.
These env files can be mounted in the container and read by Betty herself,
or read by Docker and kept safely outside the container.
Most of the Betty features require the permissions you'd imagine,
as well as the Read Message History permission.
The autodelete feature, called backup_request, requires the following on the channel in question:
The events announcement channel requires:
The live stats feature requires:
Betty is available as a Docker image under stefpletinck/betty.
There are immutable version tags that follow the Releases on GitHub,
as well as a latest tag.
You do not need any public IP or callback URL.
One thing to keep in mind is that Betty does not automatically manage command registration.
If you update Betty and the update adds or changes commands,
you will need to run the deploy-commands.ts script.
You can use the compiled .js version in the Docker container for that,
or even a local checkout of the same version of code.
We provide a docker-compose.yml file that can be used to quickly spin up Betty,
provided you have a config.json and .env file ready.
