Berry

Berry is a searchable glossary bot for Discord.

Requirements

The easiest way to run Berry is with Docker. To run it on bare metal, you need the following:

• PostgreSQL (only 12.5 tested)
• Typesense 0.23 or later
• Go 1.16 or later
• For the site and API: a reverse proxy (such as Caddy or nginx)
• Optionally, but strongly recommended: Redis, to not spam users with deprecation warnings for text commands

Configuration

All services are configured with a config.toml file in the root of this repository. An example can be seen in config.toml.example.

The following keys are required or strongly recommended to be set (using . to indicate nesting):

• bot.token: the Discord bot token
• bot.prefixes: the prefixes the bot will respond to. Will also respond to mentions
• bot.bot_owners: users that have absolute control over the bot
• bot.admins: roles that can do most administrative tasks, such as adding, editing, or deleting terms
• bot.directors: roles that can add and edit terms and pronouns, but cannot delete terms

If you're not using Docker, the following keys are also required or recommended:

• core.database_url: the DSN for the PostgreSQL database (required)
• core.typesense_url: the URL for the Typesense server (required)
• core.typesense_key: the API key for the Typesense server (required)

Running

The easiest way to get Berry running is with Docker.

• Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/termora/berry
• Create a config.toml file in the same directory as docker-compose.yml, containing at least a bot.token field
• Build the bot: docker-compose build
• Run the bot: docker-compose up (or docker-compose up -d to run in the background)

The site will listen on localhost:2839, and the API will listen on localhost:2838.

If you want to run it on the bare metal, it's a lot more involved and you're mostly on your own.
If you get stuck, feel free to ask for help on the support server.
