CICDodo

A Discord bot that monitors CurseForge mods and announces new releases to specified Discord channels.

Creating a Discord Bot

To run CICDodo you'll need a bot that can send messages, follow these instructions to create one: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/discord.html

Configuration

Before running the bot, you need to create a .env file with your configuration. Use the provided .env.example as a template:

# Copy the example environment file
cp .env.example .env

Then edit the .env file with your settings:

• MOD_IDS: Comma-separated list of CurseForge mod IDs to monitor
• DEBUG_CHANNEL_ID: Discord channel ID for debug messages
• RELEASES_CHANNEL_ID: Discord channel ID for release announcements
• BOT_TOKEN: Your Discord bot token
• CURSEFORGE_API_KEY: Your CurseForge API key
• Additional optional settings are available in the .env.example file

Running the Bot

Option 1: Docker Compose (Recommended)

# docker-compose.yml
services:
  bot:
    image: ghcr.io/jordan-dalby/cicdodo:latest
    volumes:
      - ./releases:/app/releases/
    env_file:
      - .env
    restart: unless-stopped

# Pull and run the container
docker-compose up -d

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

Option 2: Docker CLI

# Run the container
docker run -d \
  --name cicdodo \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -v ./releases:/app/releases \
  --env-file .env \
  ghcr.io/jordan-dalby/cicdodo:latest

Option 3: Unraid

1. Access the Unraid Community Applications
2. Search for "CICDodo"
3. Click "Install"
4. Configure the following variables:
   • Discord Bot Token
   • CurseForge API Key
   • Debug Channel ID
   • Releases Channel ID
   • Mod IDs (comma-separated)
5. Click "Apply"

Data Persistence

The bot stores release information in the ./releases directory, which is mounted as a volume in both Docker configurations. This ensures that release tracking persists across container restarts.
