Summary

This bot is fully written in linux shell (.sh scripting) and will run natively on most systems. Developed and running on a RaspberryPI and has been feeding discord servers memes for over a year. The only dependency that is in place is using sqlite by preference, although you can tweak the code to simply store your servers/webhooks in a text file if you'd rather not install sqlite.

Where do the memes get sourced from?

Various places, mostly REDDIT. You can see exact sources and how they are sourced in the script. memedroid (x1) imgflip (x1) reddit (x5)

Bugs?

The only bug I haven't been able to squash (haven't bothered tbh) is every once in a while, despite my meager efforts, a meme will slip through that has already been used. Usually when flow is slow.

Can I see the bot in action?

Yea, the bot is currently feeding many servers, but you can see it in action on my discord server (DISCORD.D4NG3R.COM) in BOT FEEDS > #meme-stream at quality flow.

Usage

(Under the assumption you installed sqlite and have created a database structured like DiscordBotDB.png)

• Ensure you add your discord webhook URL to your sqlite db (See DiscordBotDB.png)
• Pull the SH script to your run location (I just run it from user folder /home/<user>/projects/discord_bots/memes but you can run it from anywhere.)
• Set the hooks var (line 4) to specify DB/Table/Data selections
• Set the bot_files var (line 8), this tells the bot where to cache used URLs
• Set the flow var (Possible values are quality and quantity. Difference is top current memes vs latest posted memes. quantity will result in heavy flow of mostly poorly slapped together unfunny memes.)
• Set the bot to run however you like. I have it set to run every 5 minutes via CRON (Example below) -- Cron file: /etc/cron.d/run_all_discord_bots -- Cron file contents: */5 * * * * root /home/admin/projects/discord_bots/memes/bot_memes.sh

***NOTE: If using sqlite, see DiscordBotDB.png for table structure this bot expects

History

I developed my discord bots after KITROBIT stopped providing their services and ran a small PATREON page to generate support. I recently disabled patreon income and decided to just generalize my code and upload to GITHUB. I may tweak them over time as they all run 24/7 for various discord servers right now. If you make any positive tweaks/changes/fixes please let me know to update these repositories.
