UAS Discord Server

UBC Uncrewed Aircraft Systems Discord server defined with Terraform.

Purpose

By defining the Discord server with Terraform, we can easily version control changes and have those changes be applied in a safe and repeatable manner. It also reduces the need for permissions management for server settings since we can give only the bot account and UAS account the ability to make changes.

Backend

The storage backend is defined in versions.tf and is currently set to Terraform Cloud. This allows for automatic plans on pull requests and applys on merge to master. All the secrets are also stored in Terraform Cloud as sensitive variables.

Structure

Within the src directory, all the Terraform files can be found. The static directory holds images being used. They are organized as follows:

    logo.png               # UAS logo for messages
