ProtonVPN Repo Update Notifier Bot

This is a simple Discord bot that monitors the ProtonVPN unstable repository for changes and sends notifications to Discord when updates are detected

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• A Discord Bot Token (How to create a Discord bot & get a token)
• The ID of the Discord channel where you want notifications sent.

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/0xGingi/protonvpn-linux-notifier-discord
   cd protonvpn-linux-notifier-discord
   

2. Create a .env file: Create a file named .env in the project root and add your Discord bot token and channel ID:

   DISCORD_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here
   CHANNEL_ID=your_discord_channel_id_here
   

3. Create an empty state file: This file is used to store the last known state of the repository index.

   touch state.json
   

Running the Bot

Use Docker Compose to build and run the bot in the background:

docker compose up -d --build
