Bot of Culture (bot-of-culture)

Yet another Discord bot for cultured users.

A bot that fetches images from URLs and post the images to a Discord channel. Currently only supports images from Pixiv and Twitter.

Prerequisites

The following is the requirements for running the bot:

• Python 3.7+ with venv built-in module available
  • On Debian-based system, you need to install python3-venv separately. Example: sudo apt-get install python3-venv
• Discord token
• Pixiv credentials (username & password)
• Twitter API credentials

Setup

Fetch the source code to a location in the local filesystem. For example:

git clone https://github.com/addianto/botofculture-discord.git /opt/botofculture-discord

Go to the bot installation folder and initialise the Python virtual environment:

cd /opt/botofculture-discord
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

Install the required Python dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
# Optional: install development-related dependencies
# pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Create .env file that contains credentials and bot configuration in the bot installation folder:

echo "DEBUG=False" >> .env
echo "DISCORD_TOKEN=YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN" >> .env
echo "PIXIV_USERNAME=YOUR_PIXIV_USERNAME" >> .env
echo "PIXIV_PASSWORD=YOUR_PIXIV_PASSWORD" >> .env
echo "TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=YOUR_TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY" >> .env
echo "TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=YOUR_TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET" >> .env
echo "TWITTER_TOKEN_KEY=YOUR_TWITTER_TOKEN_KEY" >> .env
echo "TWITTER_TOKEN_SECRET=YOUR_TWITTER_TOKEN_SECRET" >> .env

Run the bot manually:

python botofculture.py
# CTRL-C to terminate the bot

If you want to run the bot in background, please run it under screen or tmux session. Alternatively, you can also setup a systemd service that will run the bot as a service. A template of systemd configuration file is available in deploy/ directory.

Credits

This project is heavily influenced by saucebot-discord. The functionality is similar, but this project fetches and shows all images instead of only showing the first image in the collection when given a Pixiv artwork that contains multiple images.
