Creates a Container which runs [ErdbeerbaerLP's](https://github.com/ErdbeerbaerLP) [Curseforge-Bot](https://github.com/ErdbeerbaerLP/Curseforge-Bot), with [lsiobase/alpine](https://hub.docker.com/r/lsiobase/alpine) as the base image, as seen on https://github.com/ErdbeerbaerLP/Curseforge-Bot.
The [lsiobase/alpine](https://hub.docker.com/r/lsiobase/alpine) image is a custom base image built with [Alpine linux](https://alpinelinux.org/) and [S6 overlay](https://github.com/just-containers/s6-overlay).
Using this image allows us to use the same user/group ids in the container as on the host, making file transfers much easier
# Deployment
Tags | Description
-----|------------
`latest` | Using the `latest` tag will pull the latest image for linux/amd64,linux/arm/v7,linux/arm64.
`develop` | The latest image of, if existent, the in-dev version of this container. Use at your own risk!
Using GitHub Workflows, images for this container are multi-arch. Simply pulling `:latest` should retrieve the correct image for your architecture.
Images are available for linux/amd64,linux/arm/v7,linux/arm64.
## Pre-built images `latest`
using docker-compose:
```docker-compose.yml
version: "2"
services:
curseforge-bot:
image: griefed/curseforge-bot:latest
container_name: curseforge-bot
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Berlin # Timezone
- ROLE_ID=000000000 # (Optional) The ID of the discord role mentioned when the bot makes a post
- PUID=1000 # User ID
- PROJECT_ID=430517 # The ID of your Curseforge project
- PGID=1000 # Group ID
- GITHUB_TOKEN= # (Optional) Required if you want the cache of the bot to be synched to a github repository. Create an github access token with full
- GITHUB_REPO=CurseforgeBotCache # (Optional) If using GITHUB_TOKEN this will be the name of the repo where the bot will store the cache
- FILE_LINK=curse # direct-link to file or curseforge-link on project page or nolink.
- DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID=000000000 # The ID of the channel you want the bot to post in
- DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=InsertHere # Your discord bot-token
- DESCRIPTION=New File(s) Detected For CurseForge Project(s) # This sets the text that appears as the message description in the update notification
- CHANGELOG_FORMAT=md # yml or md or css. Only choose one syntax. Can be very usefull if project owner/author uses discord MarkDown formatting in their changelog.
volumes:
- /host/path/to/config:/config # Where the bot-conf will be stored
```
Using CLI:
```bash
docker create \
--name=curseforge-bot \
-e TZ=Europe/Berlin `# Timezone` \

config volume | Contains config files and logs.
TZ | Timezone
PUID | for UserID
PGID | for GroupID
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN | Your discord bot-token
DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID | The ID of the channel you want the bot to post in. When using `ijo42-latest` this Channel ID must the be one from your webhook URL.
PROJECT_ID | The ID of your Curseforge project
ROLE_ID | (Optional) The ID of the discord role mentioned when the bot makes a post
FILE_LINK | `direct`-link to file or `curse`forge-link on project page or `nolink`.
DESCRIPTION | This sets the text that appears as the message description in the update notification

## Adding more projects to track for `latest`and `arm`
If you have multiple projects in Curseforge which you want to track with this bot, you need to manually edit the bot.conf file which is created after container creation. Here's an example for multiple project IDs and how it's formatted:
```
ids = [
"430517",
"438915",
"378473",
"378719"
]
```
Every new project ID need to be in "" followed by a `,` if an additional ID follows. Last ID must not have a `,` at the end.
## User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes, permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. [Linuxserver.io](https://www.linuxserver.io/) avoids this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:
```
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
```
# Building the image yourself
Use the [Dockerfile](https://github.com/Griefed/docker-Curseforge-Bot/Dockerfile) to build the image yourself, in case you want to make any changes to it
docker-compose.yml:
```docker-compose.yml
version: '2'
