🤖 Assistant of Common Tech (ACT)

ACT is a Discord bot designed to boost community engagement and interaction by providing a robust economy system and an array of entertaining commands, all tailored to deliver a dynamic and lively server experience.

🏁 Getting started

1. Clone repository:

    git clone <repository-url>
    cd <repository-folder>

2. Install UV for dependency management.

3. Install MongoDB and run database for development:

   uv run task db

   [!TIP]

   💡 To access the database using Mongodb Shell:

   uv run task db-man

   Ensure both the MongoDB server and the shell are using the same port.

   💡 To fix a broken database:

   uv run task db-fix

4. Run application for development :

   uv run task app

   [!TIP]

   💡 Virtual environments and dependencies are automatically installed when you run any UV command, such as uv run, uv sync, or uv lock. Learn more about UV projects

✈️ Deployment

1. Create and run a live MongoDB database using a service like MongoDB Atlas and get the connection string.

   💡 The remote MongoDB connection string (URI) usually looks something like this:

   mongodb+srv://username:password@host-address/database-name?retryWrites=true&w=majority
   

   where username, password, host-address, and database-name are placeholders for the values provided by the service and specific to the user.

2. Push the repository to a Python server using a service like Heroku.

3. In the remote python server:

   a. Set the environment variable MONGO_DB_URI to the obtained mongoDB connection string:

   MONGO_DB_URI=mongodb+srv://...etc
   

   b. Set all other needed environment variables:

   DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=PLACE_VALUE_HERE
   GEMINI_AI_API_KEY=PLACE_VALUE_HERE
   MONGO_DB_URI=mongodb://localhost:1717
   APP_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8000
   

   c. Run application for production:

   uv run task app-prod

   🎉 Now your bot should be live and connected to the remote database!
