The quick discord.py bot base!

Prerequisites

• discord.py
• yt-dlp
• FFmpeg/FFprobe
• AGenius.py
• Async PRAW
• PyYAML

Self-hosting

You need to create a file named config.yaml inside bot/usercontent/. That file's contents have to look something like this:

warningChannel:  # The snowflake ID of the discord channel where the warnings would be sent to
token:  # Your bot's discord token
genius_token:  # A Genius.com token for lyrics (https://genius.com/api-clients/new)

reddit:  # Here are the Reddit configs (https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/)
  client_id:  # 14-character string under "personal use script"
  client_secret:  # 27-character string under "secret"
  password:  # The password for the Reddit account used for said application 
  user_agent:  # The user-agent for the application (should follow this format: <platform>:<app ID>:<version string> (by /u/<reddit username>))
  username:  # The username of the Reddit account used for said application

dev_role:  # NAME of the developer role used to access the dev cog

default_settings:  # Default settings
  pic_cooldown:  # cooldown between pic commands IN SECONDS
  pic_cooldown_bool:  # If it should display a cooldown message for pic commands
  echo_cooldown:  # cooldown between echo commands IN SECONDS
  prefix:  # the bot prefix you want

Then you just need to start the bot by running bot/main.py in a terminal. It will create some files it needs, and then you're good to go!

Notices

This template has been made for RaspberryPis, and has the highest possibility of NOT breaking on Raspbian. It will probably run fine on any Debian-based distro too, but I wouldn't recommend running this on Windows, since some commands do require bash (i.e. checking the system uptime).
