This is still a large WIP, currently being used to turn a Feed the Beast server on and off from Discord. End goal is to have a larger amount of commands, easier integration with your own AWS account and not having just one hard coded instance.
- Python 3 and pip3 :
install python3 install python3-pip - AWS CLI :
- AWS BOTO library :
pip3 install boto3 - Discord Bot library :
pip3 install discord
- Install and setup the required tools above
- Setup AWS CLI with
pip3 awscli - Set AWS IAM credentials with
aws configure*You will need to add an IAM User in AWS Console with permissions to access your EC2. - Go to Discord's developer site and setup a bot here
- Clone this repo into the home location for your user.
- Create a file named .config and enter the variables for your Discord token and your AWS instance ID. Doing this will help protect your secrets.
instance_id='INSERTID discord_key='INSERTKEY' - Make your file executable
chmod +x bot.py - Now run your bot! python3 bot.py
To use systemd to schedule your bot to run enter this in the command line.
