realms-bot

Discord bot for monitoring Realms DAO proposals, initially targetting Mint Governance account types.

Limitations

At the moment only mint governance realms are supported, however it is relatively simple to add support for new governance types. If you wish to have a new governance type supported, please open a github issue.

Features

• Monitors for newly submitted proposals that are in the Voting state.
• Once a proposal leaves the Voting state, it is no longer tracked by the bot.
• Disk based persistence using sled
• Periodic reminders about actively voting proposals

Usage

No Docker

Requires nightly installation of rust

$> make build-cli
$> ./realms-bot config new
$> # populate the configuration file with relevant information
$> ./realms-bot config seed-database # seed the embedded database with existing governance data
$> ./realms-bot discord # starts the discord bot

Docker

Requires a docker installation that supports docker buildkit

After running the following command the compiled docker image will be saved to realms_bot.tar.gz.

$> make build-docker

Configuration

A fully populated configuration file that is currently used for the Tulip discord is below and can be used as a reference for your own discord server. You will need to populate the discord.bot_token field with a bot token that has access to your discord server, and has the GUILD_MESSAGES and MESSAGE_CONTENT gateway intents enabled. The discord.status_channel field is used to indicate which discord channel the bot should post messages to.

Additionally if you self-host a ui for your DAO, replace discord.ui_base_url with your self-hosted ui, for example with Solend's UI you would fill in https://govern.solend.fi/dao/SLND. If you do not host your on ui leave the templated value, replacing <realm-id> with whatever realm account your DAO uses. For example if your realm account is 123abc set discord.ui_base_url to https://realms.today/dao/123abc.

To configure the governance realm which is monitored, you will need to replace all of the realm_info.* fields with the appropriate values for your realm.

Docker Compose Configuration

For docker compose the only notable configuration difference is that db_opts.path must be the path of the database directory when it is mounted within docker.

For example given the following docker compose file, you would want to update the realms_config.yaml file to set the the db_opts.path field to /tmp/realms_bot.db

version: "3.5"
services:
  realms:
    image: realms-bot:latest
    command: --config  /tmp/config.yaml discord
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./realms_config.yaml:/tmp/config.yaml
      - ./realms_bot.db:/tmp/realms_bot.db:rw

When running the bot within docker for the first time, you should use the following configuration, which is replaced by the above configuration after the database is seeded:

version: "3.5"
services:
  realms:
    image: realms-bot:latest
    command: --config  /tmp/config.yaml config seed-databse
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./realms_config.yaml:/tmp/config.yaml
      - ./realms_bot.db:/tmp/realms_bot.db:rw

$> docker-compose up realms # seeds the database
$> # swap out the config file updating `command` to `command: --config /tmp/config.yaml discord`
$> docker-compose up -d realms # starts a detatched docker container
