## Installation
1. Clone the repository:
```git clone https://github.com/notswedish/QuotaBot.git```
2. Compile the bot:
```javac -cp ".:path/to/JDA.jar:path/to/other/dependencies.jar" QuotaBot.java```
#### Or download the .jar in [the releases tab](https://github.com/notswedish/QuotaBot/releases)
3. Run the bot:
```java -jar QuotaBot.jar```
It's compiled in Java 17, so you need to have Java 17 installed on your system to run it.
## Usage
Configure the bot by editing the .env file with these values
- TOKEN=token
- QOTD_CHANNEL_ID=channelid
## Daemonizing
You can create a systemd service unit file to manage your Java application as a service. Here's how to setup a systemd service for your application:
1. Create a new service file:
```sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/quotabot.service```
2. Add the following content
```
[Unit]
Description=QuotaBot
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
WorkingDirectory=/home//QuotaBot
# may be /root/QuotaBot/
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /home//QuotaBot/QuotaBot-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
SuccessExitStatus=143
TimeoutStopSec=10
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
3. Now inform systemd about this new service:
```sudo systemctl daemon-reload```
4. Enable the service to start on boot:
```sudo systemctl enable quotabot ```
5. Now you can start your service:
```sudo systemctl start quotabot```
6. You can check the status of your service:
```sudo systemctl status quotabot```
7. To stop the service, you can use:
```sudo systemctl stop quotabot```
This configuration keeps your application running in the background and automatically starts it at system boot. It also restarts your application if it fails.
