Mercury

Simple & Customisable RSS Client for IRC.

This bot is not completed, expect bugs/crashes/errors. Use in production is disadvised at this stage.

m!feed Example

Commands

  • m!feed [USER/FEED/ALIAS] [ENTRIES] - Return the last x amount of entries from any RSS feed or your own saved feeds (if you have saved feeds)
  • m!twitter [USER] [ENTRIES] - Return the last x amount of tweets from a particular user.
  • m!opt [CATEGORY] [OPTION] [VALUE] - Control bot options, see wiki for info on usage.

Deployment

  1. Install Docker (required) and Docker Compose (optional, but strongly recommended, this guide assumes you have it)
  2. Rename config/example.default.json to config/default.json and modify it accordingly. A list of variables and their descriptions can be found in this repos wiki. You do not need to do anything with example.usersettings.json unless you wish to predefine settings prior to the bots first start, the usersettings file will be made on the first run if it does not exist.
  3. Run docker compose up to begin. Append -d to start in the background and --build if you make any changes to any files.

TODO

Once the following are completed, I will consider this project functional and ready to use in production.

  • Grab RSS feeds via URL
  • Allow users to save feeds and easily grab them all at once (needs tweaking still but mostly done)
  • Alias support
  • Grab feeds at set intervals and post new content in a set channel
  • Migrate from a JSON file to a DB for user settings
  • Extensive testing and applicable error handling, also more descriptive error messages
  • Ensure wiki is updated
  • Publish Docker image so the client does not need to be built by end users
