Discord Sound Bot

A soundboard bot for discord with a Go back end and React front end.

How to use

• Download latest release here
• Install youtube-dl
• Install ffmpeg
• edit your config.json file
• run the executable

Commands

• clip - clips the past minute of audio
• summon - summons the bot to your current channel
• dismiss - dismisses the bot from the server
• <audio clip> - play a named audio clip

Uploading files

Discord oauth is used to authenticate users in order to upload files. To get oauth working you must set up your bot client secret/id in the config. You must also set up the redirect URI. This is needed so discord can redirect back to your site after authentication. Discord doesn't like insecure redirects so you will have to use a proxy for this. I prefer using caddy with the following config.

https://localhost {
  tls self_signed
  proxy / http://localhost:8080 {
    transparent
  }
}

For public hosting you will want to use something like this.

https://<your domain name> {
  tls <your email>
  proxy / http://localhost:8080 {
    transparent
  }
}

Clipping audio

If the bot is in a channel it listens to all audio. Use the clip command to record the past minute of conversation. Access all clips in the "Clips" section of the site.

Stats

If logging is enabled the bot will log all messages and store in a database file. Currently the bot keeps track of all messages that contain links in them. I added this because it's something we use in my discord. Check it out in the "Stats" page on the site.

Building from Source

Dependencies

• Go
• node/npm
• make

Compiling

• Make sure dependencies are installed
• install packr - go get -u github.com/gobuffalo/packr/...
• Rename the config.template.json to config.json
• add configurations to config.json
• cd client && npm run dev
• go run main.go
• open a browser localhost:<config_port>

Packr is used to bundle the static web assets into the binary. Use these commands to compile the project. The client must be built first.

• packr build
• packr install

Windows

I only run this on linux. I'm not sure if it will work on windows, but it should without too much work.
