Welcome to the home page for Wes McCauley the Discord Bot

This bot was first developed for use in the OldTimeHockey Discord Server. All of the code in this repository is deployed by SPRX97. If you are interested in contributing or re-purposing, feel free to contact me on Discord (sprx97), Reddit, or Github.

Notes

• Python 3.8+ is required
• Non-exaustive list of pip installs: discord.py 1.5.1+, pickle 0.7.5+, pymysql 1.0.2+ TODO: This needs to be updated
• The database is a standard mysql installation
• Everything is deployed from a DigitalOcean droplet running Ubuntu 20.04 x64 (soon to be upgraded to 24.04)
• The droplet takes weekly backups in case of catastrophic failure
• Process is managed using pm2

Restart Wes
