A discord bot, which informs users about new files of specific mods or Curseforge projects in general.

Curseforge-Bot Curseforge-Bot


Creates a Container which runs ErdbeerbaerLP's Curseforge-Bot, with lsiobase/alpine as the base image, as seen on https://github.com/ErdbeerbaerLP/Curseforge-Bot.

The lsiobase/alpine image is a custom base image built with Alpine linux and 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.

Adding more projects to track

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 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 to build the image yourself, in case you want to make any changes to it

docker-compose.yml:

version: '2'
services:
  curseforge-bot:
    container_name: curseforge-bot
    build: ./docker-Curseforge-Bot
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./path/to/config:/config
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - PUID=1000  # User ID
      - PGID=1000  # Group ID
      - DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=
      - DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID=
      - PROJECT_ID=
      - ROLE_ID=
      - FILE_LINK=
      - DESCRIPTION=
      - CHANGELOG_FORMAT=
      - GITHUB_TOKEN=
      - GITHUB_REPO=
  1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Griefed/docker-Curseforge-Bot.git ./docker-Curseforge-Bot
  2. Prepare docker-compose.yml file as seen above
  3. docker-compose up -d --build curseforge-bot
  4. ???
  5. Profit!
