Deskom Bot

Deskom is a Simple Python Discord bot that monitors Eskom's site for load-shedding stage changes and announces them to server channels.

Setup

Download the executable from the release package.
Might need to change file permissions with chmod

$ chmod +x bot

Now execute the file while passing in the bot token.

$ ./bot --token <your-bot-token-here>

First we clone the bot:

$ git clone https://github.com/qoder-za/Discord-Eskom.git deskom 
$ cd deskom

Next we need to set up some environment variables for the bot. Create a .env file in project root.

$ touch .env

Open the file and add the following

DISCORD_TOKEN = <your-bot-token-here>

Save and close the file.
Now we install the required dependencies and run start the bot up.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python bot.py

Once your bot is running and invited to a server you can run the following commands on discord:

send message: !eskom announce #channel
send message: !eskom disable
send message: !eskom stage
send message: !eskom help

The announce command allows you to set a channel to announce on.
