Jotihunt Discord Notifier

This is a simple Discord bot that fetches Jotihunt articles from the Jotihunt API and sends them to a specified Discord channel.

Installation

The easiest way to install and run the bot is to use Docker.

1. Copy the docker-compose.yml file to your server.
2. Edit the environment variables in the docker-compose.yml file, or create a .env file with the same variables and set the env_file variable in the docker-compose.yml file to the path of the .env file
3. Run docker-compose up -d
4. The script will run in the background and will send messages to the Discord channel specified in the DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID environment variable.
5. Happy hunting!
