triviabot

Trivia Bot

A Keybase chat bot that provides access to the OpenTDB trivia database so it can be enjoyed in Keybase chat.

Running

In order to run the Trivia bot, there needs to be a running MySQL database in order to store the leaderboard and API tokens to OpenTDB.

1. On that SQL instance, create a database for the bot, and run db.sql to set up the tables.
2. Build the bot using Go 1.13+, like such (in this directory):

   go install .
   

3. To start the Trivia bot, run a command like this:

   $GOPATH/bin/triviabot --dsn 'root@/triviabot'
   

4. Run triviabot --help for more options.

Helpful Tips

• If you accidentally run the bot under your own username and wish to clear the ! commands, run the following:

  keybase chat api -m '{"method": "clearcommands"}'
  

Docker

There are a few complications running a Keybase chat bot, and it is likely easiest to deploy using Docker. See https://hub.docker.com/r/keybaseio/client for our preferred client image to get started.
