* postgres: use transaction-scoped sql for upgrade
* database: combine fixGuild and addGuild into getGuild
* postgres, sqlite: simplify upgrade()
* allow running commands in DMs without prefix
this functionality was broken in
16095c0256
but is now fixed
* allow running esmBot without a database
Before this change, the only way to run esmBot without a database is to use the
dummy database driver which is broken but fails silently. THis can lead to a
confusing user experience. For instance, using `&command disable` with the
dummy database driver will tell you that the command has been disabled even
though it has not been.
This change adds support for running esmBot with no database driver by leaving
the DB= config option empty, and explicitly telling the user that some
functionality is now unavailable rather than failing silently like the dummy
driver.

Config
esmBot uses a mix of environment variables and JSON for configuration.
Environment Variables (.env)
To make managing environment variables easier, an example .env
file is included with the bot at .env.example
and can be used to load the variables on startup.
Required
NODE_ENV
: Used for tuning the bot to different environments. If you don't know what to set it to, leave it as is.TOKEN
: Your bot's token. You can find this here under your application's Bot tab.DB
: The database connection string. By default thesqlite
andpostgresql
protocols are available, but this can be expanded by putting proper DB driver scripts intoutils/database/
.OWNER
: Your Discord user ID. This is used for granting yourself access to certain management commands. Adding multiple users is supported by separating the IDs with a comma; however, this is not recommended for security purposes.PREFIX
: The bot's default command prefix for classic commands. Note that servers can set their own individual prefixes via theprefix
command.
Optional
These variables that are not necessarily required for the bot to run, but can greatly enhance its functionality:
STAYVC
: Set this to true if you want the bot to stay in voice chat after playing music/a sound effect. You can make it leave by using the stop command.TENOR
: An API token from Tenor. This is required for using GIFs from Tenor.OUTPUT
: A directory to output the help documentation in Markdown format to. It's recommended to set this to a directory being served by a web server.TEMPDIR
: A directory that will store generated images larger than 8MB. It's recommended to set this to a directory being served by a web server.TMP_DOMAIN
: The root domain/directory that the images larger than 8MB are stored at. Example:https://projectlounge.pw/tmp
THRESHOLD
: A filesize threshold that the bot will start deleting old files inTEMPDIR
at.METRICS
: The HTTP port to serve Prometheus-compatible metrics on.API_TYPE
: Set this to "none" if you want to process all images locally. Alternatively, set it to "ws" to use an image API server specified in theimage
block ofconfig/servers.json
.ADMIN_SERVER
: A Discord server/guild ID to limit owner-only commands such as eval to.
JSON
The JSON-based configuration files are located in config/
.
