Note

Instructions for creating a bot are beyond the scope of this document.

Create a Discord bot.

Grab the OAuth URL from the URL Generator.

Visit the URL and invite the bot to your server.

Bot

Clone this repo somewhere

mkdir /opt/bots
cd /opt/bots
git clone https://github.com/agent-squirrel/nuke_bot.git
cd nuke_bot
mv config.yaml.example config.yaml

Add the token from the Discord dev portal to config.yaml.

Setup

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a systemd unit to start the bot automatically.

cat << EOF >
[Unit]
Description=Nuke Discord Bot
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/bots/nuke_bot
ExecStart=/opt/bots/nuke_bot/venv/bin/python -u bot.py
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Reload systemd and start the bot.

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable --now nuke_bot

Usage

Edit the config.yaml file.

Add channel ids to accepted channels. These channels can be nuked manually.

Warning

Auto delete is disabled currently due to timers firing at weird times.

Change the channel_delete_time and channel_warning_time to the desired values in 24hr format.

The channels to be deleted will recieve a warning at the warning time and will then have their contents deleted at the deletion time.

Manually delete a channel's contents with either /nuke or for fun /exterminatus.

After changing the config file, the nuke_bot service needs to be restarted.
