gardenerbot

hopefully a relatively easyish to maintain alternative discord-bot with less spaghetti than our existing ones

requirements

• Go 1.17
• PostgreSQL 12 or later (latest version recommended, may work with versions <12 but not tested)

running

this bot doesn't do much so far
to run it in its current state, create a file named gardener.yaml in the config/ directory, and add the following:

auth:
  token: discordTokenHere
  database: postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost/postgres

replacing token with your bot's discord token and database with your database url

if you're using PostgreSQL 12 or earlier, and don't have the bot connect as a superuser, you will have to run CREATE EXTENSION hstore; as superuser on the database you created before running the bot for the first time
(because hstore is not a trusted module before PostgreSQL 13)
