Bounty Bot

This is the Discord bot application for the Bankless DAO Bounty Board.

Install

The Discord bot develop is platform agnostic. It can be installed locally on Windows, or unix systems where the Discord application is available.

These tools can make development quick and are recommended:

• git CLI - version control system
• nodejs >=16.10.0 - js runtime built on chrome's v8 engine
• nvm - easily change node versions
• yarn v1.x - dependency management system
• Docker - for local development
• iterm2 - enhanced terminal for macOS
• discord - popular chat application used for gaming and organized communities

Configuration Setup

Before the bot is ready to run there are a few configuration items that should be done. First few steps can be done following the discord.js guide;

1. Create environment file

Copy .env.template to .env

Below is a description of these env vars:

DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=<taken from discord bot application page>
DISCORD_BOT_PUBLIC_KEY=<taken from discord application PUBLIC KEY>
DISCORD_BOT_APPLICATION_ID=<taken from discord application APPLICATION ID>

TEST_CUSTOMER=<Discord server ID if your server is not in the CustomerIds constant list>

NODE_ENV=development

MONGODB_URI=<mongodb URI for your mongodb install, e.g. mongodb://localhost:27017>

LOGDNA_APP_NAME=<you choose, but it's the application that will show up in LOGDNA>
LOGDNA_DEFAULT_LEVEL=debug
LOGDNA_TOKEN=<Ingestion key from the Settings > Organization > API console of LOGDNA>

BOUNTY_BOARD_URL=<URL of the Bounty Board website, including the trailing '/'>
BOUNTY_BOARD_HELP_URL=https://www.notion.so/bankless/Bounty-Board-Help-aa6d0d679a2f4266872a20e376a59c9d

2. Create Discord bot application

https://discordjs.guide/preparations/setting-up-a-bot-application.html Create your own discord application and then create a bot in that application to get your own bot API key.

Retrieve the bot application's Application ID and Public Key

Create the bot user and retrieve the token

Put these into your .env file (see above)

Give your bot all Intents privileges

3. Invite your bot to your personal discord with correct permissions

4. Enable Developer Mode

There should be a small cog near your icon photo labeled "User Settings". Hitting that there should be an option to enable developer mode

5. Mongo DB Configuration

Refer to the Bounty Board web application, using the manual (non-Docker) mongoDB install README, including the instructions for setting up your customer record in the Customers collection

Put the MongoDB URI, minus the '/bountyboard' extension, into your .env file (see above)

6. Create LogDNA Account

Start a free trial. If you do not mind about retaining logs (not necessary for local development), the service will always stay free. On the right most panel go to Settings > Organization > API Keys Copy an ingestion key. Set that value as LOGDNA_TOKEN in your .env

6. Run application

yarn start
