• you'll need composer, node and npm

git clone $REPOSITORY
chown -R www-data.www-data $REPOSITORY_DIR

cd server
npm install

rollbot-web

this is the code of https://rollbot.dnddeutsch.de. Feel free to copy and modify as needed

Dice-Roller CLI (optional)

npm install -g @dice-roller/cli

bot uses roller as fallback, when server.js doesn't respond

Configuration

config.php

cp config.sample.php bot/config.php
ln -s bot/config.php web/config.php

Set $config values for mastodon, database and server.js in bot/config.php

export ROLLBOT_HOST=$HOST
export ROLLBOT_PORT=$PORT

Use HOST and PORT from $config['server.js']

Usage

node server/server.js
php bot/bot.php

run bot.php via cron and make server.js permanent (e.g. with systemd, see rollbot.service.sample)

Test

curl http://$HOST:$PORT?2d20

Should output something like 2d20: [8, 13] = 21
