What is it?

A noticeably useless bot that casts things on demand.

How to deploy on your server

0. Install node: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager

1. Clone the repository and install production dependencies using npm

   git clone https://github.com/Kurokonomiyaki/mastobot-mancer.git
   cd mastobot-mancer
   npm install --production

2. Get a token for your bot

   Run the script and then follow the instructions:

   npm run token

3. Configure the bot

   Copy the edit-these-settings.json file into settings.json.

   cp edit-these-settings.json settings.json

   Edit settings.json and set the instance url and access token.

4. Run the bot

   You can run the bot directly using node.

   node compiled/index.js

   You should create a service for the bot. You can use mastobot-mancer.service as a template for a systemd service. Read this documentation about systemd service files.

How to use the bot once deployed?

Send a direct message to the bot, following this pattern: @<yourbotname> <thing> <recipient>.

<thing> can be one of: coffee, tea, birthday, pizza, dango, icecream, love, breakfast, bunny, flower, congrats, chocolate, cocoa, patpat.

If you don't want the recipient to see your DM, don't write @ before the recipient id.
Example: @mancerbot coffee kuro@social.mochi.academy

If you and the recipient are on the same instance, you can omit the hostname part of the recipient.
Example: @mancerbot coffee kuro => the bot will automatically resolve kuro into kuro@instance-of-the-sender.

EDIT 19 oct. 2017

You can use the bot to ask anonymous questions: @<yourbotname> question <recipient> <your question>.
Example: @mancerbot question kuro@social.mochi.academy What do you think of neo-postmodernism?
