Ansible Deployment for Kekbot

This directory contains Ansible configuration for deploying the Discord bot to a server.

Prerequisites

1. Ansible must be installed on your local machine. Install it with:

   # On macOS
   brew install ansible
   
   # On Ubuntu/Debian
   sudo apt-get install ansible
   

2. Make sure your .env file contains all necessary Discord bot tokens and configuration.

Files

• playbook.yml: Contains all the deployment tasks including:

  • Installing Node.js and npm
  • Setting up the application directory
  • Installing dependencies
  • Creating and managing a systemd service
  • Deploying Discord bot commands

• inventory.ini: Contains the server connection details

Deployment

To deploy the bot, run:

ansible-playbook -i inventory.ini playbook.yml

Service Management

After deployment, you can manage the bot service on the server using:

# Check status
sudo systemctl status kekbot

# Stop the bot
sudo systemctl stop kekbot

# Start the bot
sudo systemctl start kekbot

# View logs
sudo journalctl -u kekbot

Troubleshooting

1. If the deployment fails due to SSH connection issues:

   • Verify that you can SSH into the server manually
   • Check that the server details in inventory.ini are correct

2. If the bot fails to start:

   • Check the logs using sudo journalctl -u kekbot
   • Verify that the .env file was properly copied and contains valid tokens
