# Discord Question of the Day Bot

This is a Node.js application that utilizes a discord webhook to post a question of the day from a file to a Discord channel. It reads a JSON object containing an array of questions and posts one question according to your schedule.

## Usage

1. Include your own questions in `questions.json`. A format is included in `questions.json.format`.

2. Run `npm install` to install dependencies.

3. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in the values.

4. Run `node index.js`.

## Docker

You can also run this bot in a Docker container. To do so, use the following commands:

```bash

# Create progress.txt file

cat 0 > "$(pwd)"/progress.txt

# Make sure to also create the questions.json file in the same directory

# Run the image

docker run -d \ 

    -e WEBHOOK_URL="enter webhook url here" \ 

    -e CRON_SCHEDULE="enter cron schedule here" \ 

    -e OPTIONAL_MESSAGE_CONTENT="" \ 

    -e TZ="Europe/Berlin" \ 

    --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/questions.json,target=/app/questions.json,readonly \ 

    --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/progress.txt,target=/app/progress.txt \ 

    --restart always \ 

    --name qotdbot \ 

    mrrfv/discord-webhook-qotd-bot:latest

```

The command above expects that the progress.txt and questions.json files already exist, and that they are in the current directory. Change the value of the `TZ` environment variable for message scheduling to work properly.
