@@ -4,213 +4,65 @@ A Markov chain bot using markov-strings.
## Usage
1. Configure what channels you want the bot to listen/learn from:
* User: `/listen modify`
* Bot: ![Select which channels your would like the bot to actively listen to](img/listen.png)
1. Train the bot in a lengthy text channel:
* User: `!mark train`
* Markbot: `@User, Finished training from past 76394 messages.`
* User: `/train`
* Bot: ![Parsing past messages from 5 channel(s).](img/train.png)
1. Ask the bot to say something:
* User: `!mark`
* Markbot: `This Shopko has a Linux release`
* User: `/mark`
* Bot: ![worms are not baby snakes, by the way](img/respond.png)
## Setup
First, create a [Discord bot application](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/).
This bot stores your Discord server's entire message history, so a public instance to invite to your server is not available due to obvious data privacy concerns. Instead, you can host it yourself.
1. Create a [Discord bot application](https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/)
1. Under the "Bot" section, enable the "Message Content Intent", and copy the token for later.
1. Setup and configure the bot using one of the below methods:
### Docker
Running this bot in Docker is the easiest way to ensure it runs as expected and can easily recieve updates.
1. [Install Docker for your OS](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
1. Open a command prompt and run:
```sh
docker run --rm -ti -v /my/host/dir:/usr/app/config ghcr.io/claabs/markov-discord:latest
```
Where `/my/host/dir` is a accessible path on your system.
1. The Docker container will create a default config file in your mounted volume (`/my/host/dir`). Open it and add your bot token. You may change any other values to your liking as well. Details for each configuration item can be found here: <https://claabs.github.io/markov-discord/classes/AppConfig.html>
1. Run the container again and use the invite link printed to the logs.
