Self Hosting about coronavirus-bot

[picklejason]

Hi, thanks for using the bot.
Yes, it is possible to self host, but it may be difficult as I am constantly updating the bot so you may run to some errors as the GitHub is not updated as frequently. You only need to create a config file with the bot token and if you want the Reddit command as well, you'll need to include the Reddit info as well to host it.

Hi, thanks for the reply! Would you be able to give me a template of the config file? As for the reddit thing, do I need an api key?

[picklejason]

Yes, if you wish to use the Reddit command you would need to make an Reddit application for requests.
Format for the config file the format should be:
token = ' '
redditID = ' '
redditSecret = ' '
redditPW = ' '
user_agent = ' '
redditName = ' '

ah ok, thanks for the info. I tried installing dependencies by running pip install -r requirements.txt but it says "module google not found" when I run python covid-19.py. I also tried pip install google but same response. Any idea on how to fix this?

[picklejason]

@GenryMg I am hosting the bot on google cloud and I am using google logging as well. I didn't plan for people to self host so that is not in the requirements. If you wish you can get rid of all the logging (recommended option, unless you're planning to host on google as well). If you do host on google and want to log to it, then you have to install the library with pip install --upgrade google-cloud-logging

I don't think I need the logging. Does the logging code only appear in covid-19.py? or is it all over the bot folder

[hng12]

btw, I just remove this part right

import google.cloud.logging
from google.cloud.logging.handlers import CloudLoggingHandler


logging_client = google.cloud.logging.Client()
cloud_logger = logging_client.logger('covid-19')
logger = logging.getLogger('covid-19')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
handler = CloudLoggingHandler(logging_client)
handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(name)s: %(message)s'))
logger.addHandler(handler)```

[picklejason]

Yes and any other instances of logging in the other files

[hng12]

alright, thanks for your help! I will try again

[hng12]

Uh, I tried to delete the lines dealing with logging. However, I don't know which ones to delete (Not familiar with GCP and google logging) Would you be able to tell me which files/lines I need to get rid of?

[picklejason]

Just CTRL+F anything with logger in in. Also, not to be rude, but as I said before I didn't plan for people to self host the bot so I can't help you with every issue.
