pibot-discord 3.4.0

Multi-purpose Discord Bot

PiBot

A discord bot providing administration and utility features!

Features

• Easy to run (uses Python)
• Modular cog-based architecture
• MongoDB integration for guild settings
• DeepL translation support
• Development tools for testing

Installation

You can run PiBot in two ways:

• From PyPI (after publishing): pip install pibot or uv add pibot, then run pibot.
• From Docker: use the image tobiasgoetz/pibot from Docker Hub (see Docker below).

Local Development

Prerequisites

• Python 3.13 or higher
• uv package manager
• MongoDB instance (local or remote)
• Discord bot token from Discord Developer Portal

Setup

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/TobiasGoetz/pibot.git
   cd pibot
   

2. Install dependencies

   uv sync
   

3. Set up environment variables

   Copy the example environment file and create your .env file with your values:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   Edit .env with your actual values. The .env.example file contains all required and optional environment variables with descriptions.

4. Run the bot

   uv run pibot
   

Development Workflow

Running the Bot

The recommended way to run the bot during development is using uv directly:

uv run pibot

This provides:

• Fast iteration (no Docker rebuilds needed)
• Easy debugging with IDE integration
• Direct access to logs and file system

Development Features

When ENVIRONMENT is not set to production or testing:

• DevTools cog is automatically loaded with development commands
• Commands sync locally (not globally) for faster testing
• Additional debugging features are available

Code Quality

The project uses ruff for linting and formatting. Run it with:

uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format .

Documentation

Update docs using:

uv run sphinx-apidoc -f -o docs/source src/pibot

Docker

Testing Docker Build Locally

To test the Docker build locally without publishing:

docker build -t pibot:local .
docker run --env-file .env pibot:local

Building and Publishing Multi-Architecture Images

⚠️ This will publish to Docker Hub. Make sure you're logged in with docker login before running.

To build and publish multi-architecture images from your local machine:

1. Create buildx builder (one-time setup):

   docker buildx create --use --name pibot
   

2. Build and push multi-arch image to Docker Hub:

   docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 --push -t tobiasgoetz/pibot .
   

   This command will build the image for both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures and push it to Docker Hub.

Note: For active development, using uv directly is recommended over Docker for faster iteration.
