FIFO to Discord bridge

Requirments

You will need:

• DDNet/Teeworlds server with logfile path/to/logfile and sv_input_fifo path/to/fifo
• Discord bot with message content intent
• Python3 with nextcord and watchdog packages installed

Config

Copy config.json.example and rename it to config.json. Replace values with your own.

Note: servers value is an array that should contain values with logfile_path, fifo_path, channel_id, broadcast and mode. Useful if you have multiple servers running at once.

Running

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-venv
cd path/to/bot
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install nextcord watchdog
python main.py
deactivate

Running As Service

For running your bot as a background service, you can create a systemd service file.

1. Create a systemd Service File:

   sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/discord-bot.service

2. Add the Following Configuration: Replace path/to/bot/ with the actual path to bot repository.

   [Unit]
   Description=Discord Bot
   After=network.target
   
   [Service]
   User=your_username
   WorkingDirectory=/path/to/bot
   ExecStart=/path/to/bot/venv/bin/python /path/to/bot/main.py
   Restart=always
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Reload systemd and Start the Service:

   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   sudo systemctl start discord-bot.service
   sudo systemctl enable discord-bot.service

4. Check the Status: You can check the status of your bot with:

   sudo systemctl status discord-bot.service
