lemmy-nhl 1.5.2

bot to add live scores to lemmy community for hockey games

A few things to note currently:

Without modifying files, there is currently no way to test this. I've tested that it works with old data, and will be testing/ fixing whatever needs it during the first preseason game of the Flyers (or earlier if someone reports an issue before this).

lemmy_nhl_bot

nhl linescore grabber/poster for lemmy. This app is meant to be run in the background to routinely add scores, standings, and team stats to a lemmy community focusing on a specific hockey team (standings are league wide, as is the draft function). After being configured, the main app is run in the background. It will check weekly for an updated schedule. Once per week (currently set to Sunday), it will post an updated League-wide standings page, and an updated team stats page. Once game days, it will start automatically at game time, and post scores and time updates every five seconds.

Docker image

There is a branch of this repo to aid in building a Docker image. To build and install with docker:

Download the following to a directory: (these are available on the release page beginning with 1.5.1) Dockerfile config.py

run:

python3 config.py

docker build -t lemmy_nhl_bot .

Building:

This script requires the following to be installed from pip: plemmy, requests, json

pip install plemmy source is https://github.com/tjkessler/plemmy/ Many thanks for tjkessler for the simple to use library!

pip install requests

pip install json

Build the .whl

git clone https://github.com/socphoenix/lemmy_nhl_bot.git

cd lemmy_nhl_bot

git checkout dev

Linux (FreeBSD use python3.9): python3 -m build . --wheel

cd dist

pip install lemmy_nhl-2.0.0-py3-none-any.whl

Usage:

Before starting bot.py, please make sure to run config.py! It is needed to save your login token and teamID/community Name. Without these the script will crash!

Run config.py:

Linux: lemmy_nhl_config

FreeBSD: lemmy_nhl_config.py ##This requires path set. for sh (default shell): "PATH=${PATH}:/home/'put user here'/.local/bin" "export PATH" (as an interesting note, python seems to only add the path to the root user during install)

run daemon

Unix:

lemmy_nhl_daemon

add " &" to run in the background. Working on creating service files but they are not done yet.

run draft bot

Unix: lemmy_nhl_draft

See it in action!

To see what the bot can currently do, look here: pinned game, stats, standings
