Praetorian

Build exclusive communities with this bot for email-verifying new server members, before giving them access to the server. The email has to belong to a set of specific configurable domains.

Made to be used by communities like college gaming clubs / esports teams, etc. but can obviously be used for other purposes.

Invite

Invite link with admin permission here.

Admin permission is only strictly required by the setup, and configure autoverifyall commands, but because of the way role heirarcy works, the bot works most reliably when given admin and the Praetorian role is near the top of the list.

Make sure to read the help message and run the setup command after adding the bot to a server.

Note that the bot will only respond to messages in the verification channel it set up if any, especially once the setup command is run. So if the bot is not responding to your commands you might want to make sure you're using the right channel.

Commands

verify, code, help, setup, configure

The default prefix is !. Use the help command to get an up-to-date explaination of these commands.

The bot will process commands any text channel if:

• It is the !setup command
• It is the !configure setcmdchannel command
• The command channel is not set yet (either through !setup or !configure)

All the commands in the command channel (named "Verification" initially) will be processed.

Deployment

Docker

Pull this image from Docker Hub, and run it using these commands. Fill in the quotes with your credentials. The Docker image is not maintained anymore, since I didn't have any use for it, and no one has deployed it to be honest XD

# docker pull dem1se/praetorian
# docker run -e BOT_TOKEN=" " -e EMAIL_ID=" " -e EMAIL_PWD=" " dem1se/praetorian

Bare Node.js application

Clone the repo, setup the .env file, and run the following commands:-

npm install
npm start

Note: npm install might have to be run with elevated privileges on linux, for the sqlite3 package's build steps.

.env File

The .env file at the root of the project needs to have the following variables if running as directly as node application.

BOT_TOKEN=""
EMAIL_ID=""
EMAIL_PWD=""

Some exit codes

• 0: Everything's good. Take a break!
• 2: There is an error with the secrets (environmental variables). If using the Docker image, make sure you fill in the quotes in the docker run command. If running as node application directly, setup the .env file
• 3: Issue with the logger. There was an error creating a latest.log file. Please check file system permissions or other related causes.
