What is this?

The Murgi Bot is a Discord Bot Service that listens to messages in a guild/server, and when called using it's specified prefixes, or receives an alert that requires it to respond, it does exactly that.
It was, and is made to be a simple bot that was created to entertain my friend group, and a fun little experiment on working with the Rust Language, and Discord API.

There's a bunch of cool features that comes with the Murgi Bot, and here's a list of these features,

• Howls upon request, and when all four Murgis howl.
• Queries piratebay for magnet links to games.
• Can roll DnD dices, and random numbers in a specified range.
• Play songs from YouTube.
• Play anime from GogoAnime.
• Stream videos from YouTube.

Installation

In order to set up the Murgi Bot, you will be required to install Rust, and set up a Rust Development environment, which is present in detail in the Rust Book.

The bot also utilizes the Serenity Library in order to interact with the Discord API running in the backend, however, all of the development set up will be done by a simple cargo build or a cargo run, so, there's not much to worry about there.

There is also an ongoing development of a Dockerfile, and a docker-compose.yml for the Murgi Bot, to be developed as a containerized application.

Finally, there is a requirement for a few environment variables in order to work with Murgi Bot, these are defined in the .env.example file.

There are currently two containerized approaches that can be utilized to set up the Murgi Bot container.

Parameters

The application runs through various connections formed through a bunch of tokens and the such, which are listed below,

docker-compose

version: '3'

services:
  murgi_bot:
    container_name: murgi
    image: datadi/murgi_bot:latest
    environment:
      DISCORD_TOKEN: {DISCORD_TOKEN}
      JACKETT_RSS_FEED: http://{ip_addr:port}/api/v2.0/indexers/thepiratebay/results/torznab/api?apikey={API_KEY}&t=search&cat=&q=
      RUST_LOG: DEBUG
    restart: unless-stopped

Docker CLI

docker run -d \
    --name=murgi \
    -e DISCORD_TOKEN={DISCORD_TOKEN} \
    -e JACKETT_RSS_FEED=http://{ip_addr:port}/api/v2.0/indexers/thepiratebay/results/torznab/api?apikey={API_KEY}&t=search&cat=&q= \
    --restart: unless-stopped \
    datadi/murgi_bot:latest

Building from source

If there is a need to build the application from source, either to implement or extend upon certain features, building the bot locally is also a feasible solution.
The step by step process in order to do so, can be done through the following command in the terminal.

git clone https://github.com/dat-adi/MurgiBot.git
cd MurgiBot
cargo build --release
./target/release/murgi_bot
