# Channelbot 3

Channelbot is dead, long live Channelbot!

# Why ChannelBot?

## Major advantages

* ChannelBot is fast. Like really fast. Faster than a human can ever be. It gets a notification directly from Google the second you upload a video to your channel. This is probably the best argument.

* No programming knowledge needed.

* You send the bot 1 message and you're done.

## Minor advantages

* In combination with automoderator, you can give ChannelBot's submissions automatic flair (with something like 'official' or something)

* Because you know for sure that ChannelBot's submissions are official.

* It's easier to check for double submissions, i.e.: if someone's posting a video and it isn't ChannelBot, you know you can remove it without having to check if this is 'the only submission of this video'.

* If you're the one posting submissions, then this will probably save you lots of time as you don't have to check (and post) manually anymore.

# Development

- `cp .env.dist .env`

- `npm start`

# Production

## Docker

Docker usage is recommended, it will save you the hassle of having to set up redis and mysql.

- `cp .env.dist .env`

- Enter values for the `HUB_`, `YOUTUBE_` and `REDDIT_` fields.

  You can keep the `MYSQL_` and `REDIS_` fields to their defaults (if you wish).

  MySQL will run in it's own secluded network so setting the password won't matter that much.

- `docker-compose up -d`

- `docker-compose exec node ./deploy.sh`

  Execute this every time the sourcecode changes.

## Not docker

- Setup redis, mysql

- `cp .env.dist .env`

- Enter values.

- `npm run deploy`
