Discord EC2 Bot

Small script I made in order to allow users on my Discord server to start/stop my Valheim server in order to reduce costs.

Usage

The bot, once running, can be interacted with via the !server command. Possible commands:

• start - Starts the EC2 instance
• stop - Stops the EC2 instance
• status - Prints whether or not the instance is currently running or stopped.

Setup

Install the dependencies:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Copy .env file:

$ mv .env.sample .env

Adjust the values in the .env file.

• The TOKEN value is the access token of your Discord bot.
• The SERVER_NAME value needs to correspond this the value of the Name tag of the EC2-Instance that is to be started/stopped.
• The AWS values are your usual AWS credentials and region.

Run the script:

$ python3 main.py
