Requirements:

Make sure you have Python 3.6 or newer installed on your system (example uses python3.8). If you don't have it installed, you can download it using the following command in your terminal:

apt install python3.8

Install pip, the Python package manager, if you don't already have it. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

apt install python3-pip

Once pip is installed, you can use it to install the required libraries for discord. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

pip3 install -U discord.py aiohttp python-dotenv requests beautifulsoup4

Running the bot

To run the bot, follow these steps: Create a new bot on Discord and get the token by following these instructions. https://discordnet.dev/guides/getting_started/first-bot.html

Create or edit the .env file in the same directory as the script and add the following environment variables:

TOKEN=<DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN_SECRET>
ADMINID=<ADMINISTRATOR_DISCORD_ID>
CHANNELID=<YOUR_DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID>
NEWS_API_KEY=<YOUR_NEWS_API_KEY> (it's free!)

Docker

You must configure the .env to suits your need first!

Then run:

docker build -t mounit .

docker run --rm mounit 

( or "docker run --rm -d mounit" , for detached mode)

Rundown:

The following variables are defined in the script:

minTime: The minimum time in seconds between each iteration of the test task.

maxTime: The maximum time in seconds between each iteration of the test task.

channelid: The Discord channel ID where the bot will post messages.

adminid: The Discord user ID of the bot's administrator.

Functions

The following functions are defined in the script:

test task: This task will run in the background and will send a random sentence from the sentences-en.json file to the specified Discord channel at random intervals (between minTime and maxTime seconds).

get_quote: This function makes a request to the zenquotes API to get a random quote.

on_ready: This event handler will be called when the bot has successfully connected to the Discord API and is ready to receive messages. This function sends a message to the specified Discord channel to let the administrator know that the bot is up and running, and also sets the bot's presence on Discord. It also sends a random quote to the Discord channel, along with a random cat image from the aws.random.cat API.

on_message: This event handler will be called whenever the bot receives a message on Discord. The function first checks if the message was sent by the bot itself, and if so, it does nothing. Otherwise, the function checks if the message content is one of a few predefined strings (e.g. "hello", "bye", "news"). If the message matches one of these strings, the bot will respond with a predefined message.
