p4bl0t

p4bl0t is a simple logging bot for Discord written in Rust.

Usage

Preparation

In order to run p4bl0t, you will need a Discord token with which your bot will authenticate. Head over to your developer portal on Discord’s website, and create a bot there. You will be able to get the bot’s token there.

Docker

The easiest way to run p4bl0t is using Docker. Copy docker-compose.example.yml to docker-compose.yml and modify the DISCORD_TOKEN variable.

Then, you can simply run

docker compose up # or docker-compose on some machines

Building and running it yourself

Copy the .env.example file to a .env file and fill in the details.

cp .env.example .env
emacs .env
# or
vim .env
# or
nano .env
# or
code .env
# or whichever text editor you prefer

Install the sqlx CLI if you don’t have it already.

cargo install sqlx-cli

Setup your SQLite database.

sqlx database create
sqlx migrate run

You can then run the project using cargo run

cargo run
# or
cargo run --release # if you don’t want debug symbols
