slimebot is a small self-hosted discord bot made for a private server with friends.
hey, thanks for checking out the code!! if you have a feature to request or a bug to report, you can always dm it to me directly, but i would really really appreciate if you put it in the issues page.
developing this bot is fun, but does take a good amount of time and effort, so contributing would be super helpful!! the bot itself is entirely written in rust, which i can absolutely help you learn if you're interested, but in the future there might be additional features that involve web development.
slimebot-dev also runs on this codebase! slimebot proper runs on an actual webserver that lets it stay up all the time, while slimebot-dev just runs off my computer. additionally, slimebot proper runs on the stable code in the prod branch, while slimebot-dev runs on whatever unstable branch i'm currently writing and testing. slimebot-dev exists so i can develop the bot while keeping your experience using slimebot relatively seamless!
hi!! this bot (and the server it's built for) is riddled with in-jokes and dumb features. it is a bot that does work—the prod branch is, at least—and you could probably deploy it to your own hardware, but you're probably just better off taking what you like from the codebase. unless you want a bot that posts this image of joe biden every time someone says "L", i guess?
yes and no. you're completely free to compile and run the code yourself, or use the docker image at ghcr.io/perpetualcacophony/slimebot:prod (check out the example compose.yaml!) however, you'll need to use your own bot user—the bot application i operate is private server-only, which is why you won't find any invite link for slimebot.
