SaltBot2.0

This is a fun discord bot written in JavaScript Python Go (yes this is the 3rd time I've re-implemented this bot). To see a list of commands, you can either look at the handler.go file or type !help in a channel that SaltBot is listening to. To add SaltBot to a server, contact me at davidgreeson13@gmail.com for an OAuth2 url.

Saltbot Prerequisites

To run Saltbot, you need to have 3 tokens:

• BOT_TOKEN - A discord developer bot token for connecting to the discord servers.
• YOUTUBE_AUTH - A YouTube API token for retrieving YouTube videos.
• GIPHY_AUTH - A Giphy API token for retrieving Giphy gifs.

Create each of those tokens, and then create an auth file called auth.env like below but with your tokens:

BOT_TOKEN=<YOUR-BOT-TOKEN>
GIPHY_AUTH=<YOUR-GIPHY-AUTH>
YOUTUBE_AUTH=<YOUR-YOUTUBE-AUTH>

Running SaltBot

Run saltbot directly with the golang interpreter:

go run saltbot.go

Saltbot will first attempt to reach out to a kubernetes server using a kubernetes Service Account. If it can't, then it will attemp to use ~/.kube/config.

Running SaltBot in a Kubernetes Cluster

I published SaltBot on a public docker hub repo at highsaltlevels/saltbot. If you would like to deploy this into a kubernetes cluster, you're free to use the namespace and deployment files in the k8s folder.

1. Replace the placeholders with actual credentials

sed -i s/__BOT_TOKEN__/<YOUR-BOT-TOKEN>/g k8s/deployment.yaml
sed -i s/__GIPHY_AUTH__/<YOUR-GIPHY-AUTH>/g k8s/deployment.yaml
sed -i s/__YOUTUBE_AUTH__/<YOUR-YOUTUBE-AUTH>/g k8s/deployment.yaml

1. (Optional) Create a saltbot Namespace

kubectl create -f k8s/namespace.yaml

1. (Optional) Log into Dockerhub to Avoid Anonymous Pull Rate Limiting

docker login -u <username> -p <password>
kubectl -n saltbot create secret generic regcred --from-file=.dockerconfigjson=/path/to/.docker/config.json --type=kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson

1. Deploy Saltbot

kubectl -n saltbot apply -f k8s/deployment.yaml
