README

A Discord bot written in python.

This project was used mainly to teach members of the Discord channel about software development, docker, CI/CD, and for me to learn about project management

Currently the CI/CD pipeline has workers running as Kubernetes pods and dispatches jobs to various nodes. Once a new container is built, it is automatically deployed

What does this bot do?

• This is a chat bot of sorts that connects to our Discord channel and interacts with us via chat commands

• This bot has also been an ongoing learning experience for several members of the Discord channel. With this bot, I have been able to teach the repo contributors:

  • Docker
  • Helm
  • Kubernetes
  • ArgoCD
  • Git
  • Python
  • CI/CD (First using gitlab CI, but now I've deployed my own DroneCI cluster)
  • Collaborative coding practices
  • Testing methodologies
  • Code Accountability

• You can see a diagram of how it all works by running the following command from the root of the repo:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/tmp/python python sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get install -y graphviz; pip install diagrams; cd /tmp/python; python /tmp/python/dalebot-overview.py"

What is this repository for?

• Here we track issues and collaborate on the bot
