A Discord bot for creating and destroying temporary voice channels.

Ever wanted Mumble's temporary voice channels on Discord?
Bob can help you!

About

Bob is a bot that allows a group of users to create voice channels that are automatically deleted after everybody leaves.

Usage

While you are connected to any voice channel:

/build <channel-name> | create a new temporary channel and enter it
/save <preset-name> | save the permissions of the channel you currently are in to a name
/load <preset-name> <channel-name> | load the permissions with the name

Add to your server

The bot is still in the alpha stage of development, there are no guarantees of uptime or stability!

Please message Steffo#4036 if you decide to add this bot to a new server :)

To add the bot to your server:

Click on this link.
Create a new category for the bot from which the temporary channels will inherit all permissions.
Create a text channel named #bob inside the category and allow the bot to Send messages in it.

Host your own

The bot is still in the alpha stage of development, there are no guarantees of stability!

To host your own instance of Bob:

Download the latest release on GitHub.
Set the DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable to your Discord bot token.
Set the BOB_CHANNEL_NAME environment variable to the name of Bob's text channel (without the starting hash, ex: bob).
Set the BOB_DELETION_TIME environment variable to how long would you like empty channels to stay available before being deleted. Defaults to 60 if not set.
If you're on OS X or Linux, set the executable flag on the file you downloaded!
Run the executable.

Compile from source

The GitHub source is even more unstable than the releases; the compilation may even fail!

To compile Bob from the source on GitHub:

Ensure you have Cargo, Rust and Git installed on your PC.
Clone Bob's git repository with git clone https://github.com/Steffo99/bob.git.
Run cargo build.
