Watchdog

Discord bot that logs joins and leaves to a server's system messages channel.

Requires:

• Python 3.6+
• discord.py

Installation:

Linux

This guide assumes you've downloaded Python 3.6 or later and added Python to PATH.

1. Clone the repo.

   $ git clone https://git.tcp.direct/nameless/watchdog
   $ cd watchdog
   

2. Create a Discord bot account, grant the members intents, and invite the bot (guide)
3. Rename the file .env.example to .env and fill it with appropriate values
   • If you can't find .env.example because it's hidden, enable hidden files on your operating system or create a new text file named .env, then copy the contents of this file and replace the placeholder with its respective value.
   • If you're on Windows and cannot save the file as .env, save it as .env. instead (this only applies to Windows!)
4. Update pip, install pipenv, and install dependencies using pipenv

   $ pip install -U pip
   $ pip install pipenv
   $ pipenv install
   

   • pip and pipenv can also be managed by your system's package manager if preferred.
5. Go to the Overview section in your server settings and set the system messages channel.
   • It is recommended to disable random welcome messages.
6. Start the bot

   $ pipenv run watchdog
