openai discordbot

openai/dalle-discordbot

Moved over to node.js to increase functionality. This script is much easier to use, but node.js is much more feature packed. You want to move to that, check out the link https://github.com/irnutsmurt/discord.js-v14-openai-dalle

simple python3 script to create a discord bot for openai. Using gpt3 turbo. Will be eventually updating script to use gpt 4 once available

This script was written entirely using ChatGPT. I understand the basics of how this work, but if you're more advanced in Python then you will be able to do a lot more than I can. If you have issues, paste the contents of the script into chatgpt, and ask it for help. It will be able to provide you a lot of info.

To install

1. git clone the repository

2. pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create an openai account at https://openai.com/api/

4. Open your account from the top right icon, then select "view api keys"

5. Select "Create New Api Key" and copy it

6. Paste the key into the config.ini file where it says "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE"

7. Create a discord api token by going to https://discord.com/developers/applications/

8. Select "New Application" and give it a name and save

9. Select Bot from the left hand panel

10. Press the "Add Bot" button, and press the "Yes, do it" button

11. Copy the token, and paste into the config.ini file where it says "OUR_DISCORD_TOKEN_HERE"

12. Select the intents you need, generally it should only be SERVER MEMBERS INTENT, and MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT,

13. Save Changes

14. From the left hand side, under OAuth2, select URL Generator

15. Select the Scopes. Will only need BOT

16. Select the Text Permissions that are required. These should be only

Send Messages

Send Messages in Threads

Embed Links

Attach Files

Read Message History

17. Copy the Generated URL, and paste into the URL bar of the browser and authorize the bot.

18. Start the bot. In Linux under Ubuntu 20.04 that this was tested on that should be

python3 aidiscordbot.py

To communicate with the bot, a user will type

!chat
or
!image

Followed by their question or image they want to generate. This is an example of what it will look like.

!chat tell me the weather of the bermuda triangle
!image staind glass window. Dog in a fighter jet. Sun in the bottom left corner. Lens flare shining.

Creating a service account

1. Create a new user:

sudo useradd -r aidiscordbot

2. Set where you want the user's home directory to be, this could be where the script is stored. Note, the directory must exist already:

sudo usermod -d /var/empty aidiscordbot

3. Set the user's shell to /sbin/nologin:

sudo usermod -s /sbin/nologin aidiscordbot

Securing the Config.ini File

1. Place the config.ini in the same directory as the python script

2. Change the readwrite permission to read only from the owner

chmod 600 /path/to/config.ini

3. Change the owner to whomever will be running the script.

chown aidiscordbot:aidiscordbot /path/to/config.ini

Creating a Daemon Service

If you'd like to run the program in the background I suggest creating a systemd service. Alternatively, the screen command can also be used but will not resume upon reset of the server.

1. Create the systemd service file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/aidiscordbot.service

2. Add the following content to the service file:

    Description=Aidiscordbot Service
    [Service]
    User=aidiscordbot
    Group=aidiscordbot
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/aidiscordbot.py
    Restart=always
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target) 

Note: Replace /path/to/aidiscordbot.py with the actual path to the aidiscordbot.py script on your system.

3. Make sure the aidiscordbot.py script has the correct permissions:

    sudo chown aidiscordbot:aidiscordbot /path/to/aidiscordbot.py
    
    sudo chmod 700 /path/to/aidiscordbot.py 

4. Reload the systemd configuration:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

5. Start the service:

sudo systemctl start aidiscordbot.service

6. Enable the service to start automatically at boot:

sudo systemctl enable aidiscordbot.service

With these steps, the aidiscordbot.py script should now run as the aidiscordbot user, with the least privilege necessary to execute the script, and will start automatically at boot.
