Plans for this discord bot management project

• Use node.js backend
• Need the ability to login.
• One backend can have multiple bots
• The bots will be in a tab or something similar
• Control bots:
  • Restart bot
  • Update bot
  • Change config
  • Backup data/ dir (gzip, then download)
  • Restore data/ dir (upload gzipped archive)
  • Check if the server can be put down for maintenance (check if there are timers in the near future (hour))
  • Add a new bot
  • Download logs (specify time range & file format (gzip or plain))
  • Ability to see a log equivalent to journalctl -fu discord_bot.service
  • Statistics (uptime, amount of commands, last error, commands per hour, commands last 24 hours etc..., )

Bots will have an internal api that they communicate with the backend server over.
Using websockets for the follow log is probably best? Actually, the simplest way would be to just use http requests all the way. At least in the browser client. Browser queries server for new logs every x seconds, then updates the view if something changed. Each discord bot would then need to have a HTTP server running that would respond to GETs by the mgmt backend. This would update independently from the browser. Logs could be stored in a database table? Something like:

CREATE TABLE logs (
	id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
	bot_name TEXT,
	bot_ip TEXT,
	entry TEXT,
	date TEXT
)

Misc Thoughts

• Check if there are any software updates? If there are, send email?

First priority:

• Create a basic html page.

SQLITE SCHEMAS

TODO: Figure out how to implement permissions and stuff in a good way

CREATE TABLE users (
	user_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
	username TEXT UNIQUE,
	hashed_password TEXT,
	email TEXT,
	created_at INTEGER,
	is_verified INTEGER,
	is_administrator INTEGER
);

CREATE TABLE tokens (
	token PRIMARY KEY UNIQUE,
	user_id INTEGER,
	expires_at INTEGER
);

CREATE TABLE discord_bots ( 
	id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
	owner_id INTEGER,
	is_public INTEGER,

);
