Home Front Command Notificator

A bot to send Discord notifications for HFC alerts

Created by GaMeNu and yrrad8

IMPORTANT: This bot is unofficial! Please do not rely on it alone.

What is this?

This is a bot that connects to the HFC's servers and sends real-time notifications about alerts in Israel.

Setup

Invite the bot to a server, and /register a channel, and you're ready to go!

Alternatively, you can DM the bot to receive alerts directly to your DMs!

Please do note that the bot instance listed here is hosted on a private machine, and may be a bit slow.

Requirements

Required PyPI packages (run each with pip install)

Note: On Windows you will have to write python -m pip instead of pip at the beginning of pip install commands

Note: as of 2023-10-23, discord.py seems to not install properly for Python 3.11 and above. The fix we've found is to first install the beta version of package aiohttp separately (aiohttp==3.9.0b0).

Please use the requirements files (pip install -r):

Python 3.10 and below:

(python -m) pip install -r requirements.txt

Python 3.11 and above:

(python -m) pip install -r requirements-new-python.txt

Other requirements

Local data:

.env file

Save the following to a file named ".env", and replace the angled brackets with the matching data

TOKEN = <Discord bot token>
AUTHOR_ID = <Your Discord user ID>

DB_USERNAME = <MySQL database username>
DB_PASSWORD = <MySQL database password>

note that the .env file must be in the same directory as main.py

botinfo file

in botinfo.json, change the "maintainer" value (default is "GaMeNu (@gamenu)") to your username, and maybe add contact information. This is in order to allow others to contact you about issues with your specific instance, and will be publicly available through /info.

Make sure to not write any personal/private information there!
