A discord bot, which informs users about new files of specific mods or Curseforge projects in general. Based on ijo42's fork CurseForge2Discord.

Curseforge-Bot Curseforge-Bot


Creates a Container which runs ijo42's CurseForge2Discord, with lsiobase/alpine as the base image, as seen on https://github.com/ijo42/CurseForge2Discord.

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 amd64/x86_64 architecture.

Pre-built images

using docker-compose:

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
      - FILE_LINK=curse # direct-link to file or curseforge-link on project page or nolink.

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 = [
    # Project ID
    "Project ID;;Channel ID;;Webhook",
    "Project ID2;;Channel ID2;;Webhook",
    "Project ID3;;Channel ID;;Webhook",
    "Project ID4;;Channel ID;;Webhook"
]

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
