Some permissions are required:
- Send Messages: base command functionality
- Manage Messages: for
?cleanupcommand Furthermore, theapplications.commandsOAuth2 scope is required for slash commands.
Here's an sample invite link, with the permissions and scopes incorporated: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=EXAMPLE&permissions=268445760&scope=bot%20applications.commands
Adjust the client_id in the URL for your own hosted instances of the bot.
The bot requires Server Members Intent enabled in the Applications > $YOUR_BOTS_NAME > Bot
settings of Discord's developer portal.
Run the bot using cargo run --release.
You will need to provide several environment variables. A convenient way to do this is to copy the
.env.example file to .env and fill out the values. Then run the bot with the .env file applied.
Also set SQLX_OFFLINE to true if you're running the bot for the first time. Otherwise, SQLx
will try to call into the database to check query correctness, which fails if the database hasn't
been set up yet.
Example command-line for Linux:
set -a && source .env && set +a && SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo run --release
This project has a Containerfile, so you can use Docker or Podman to run this bot if you wish.
For that, rename the .env.example file into .env, fill out the values, and run the command:
docker-compose -f container-compose.yaml up -d --buildCurrently we're using Docker to run it, but eventually we'll make it work with just podman.
This codebase has its roots in rust-lang/discord-mods-bot, the Discord bot running on the official Rust server.
