go-discord-amputator

Discord Amputator bot rewritten in Go

Configuration

Set some environment variables before launching, or add a .env file.

If database environment variables are provided, the bot will save stats to an external database. Otherwise, it will save stats to a local sqlite database at /var/go-discord-amputator/local.db

Variable	Value(s)
ADMINISTRATOR_IDS	IDs of users allowed to use administrator commands
DB_DATABASE	Database name for database
DB_HOST	Hostname for database
DB_PASSWORD	Password for database user
DB_USER	Username for database user
LOG_LEVEL	trace, debug, info, warn, error
TOKEN	The Discord token the bot should use

Usage

Configure the bot with !amp config [setting] [value]. The settings are below:

Setting	Default	Description
switch	on	Enable the bot: on, disable the bot: off
replyto	off	Reply to the original message for context, on or off
embed	on	Whether to use an embed message or just reply with links (Discord will then auto preview them), on or off
guess	on	Whether to guess if the URL is difficult to amputate, on or off
maxdepth	3	The maximum number of links deep to go to find the canonical URL, any number

You can also use !amp stats to get amputation stats for your server.

Development

Create a .env file with your configuration, at the bare minimum you need a Discord token for TOKEN. You can either docker compose up --build to run with a mysql database, or just go run main.go to run with a sqlite database.
