DiscordBot

Java/Spring Boot pet project for Discord notifications and basic server status monitoring.

This is a small automation project, not a commercial product. It is useful for showing practical integration work: connecting to an external platform, handling commands, reading configuration, and checking a remote server from a bot.

What It Does

• Starts a Discord bot with JDA
• Listens for the !serverstatus command
• Checks whether a configured server IP is reachable
• Sends server online/offline messages to a configured Discord channel
• Keeps token, channel ID, and server IP in configuration instead of code

Tech Stack

• Java 17
• Spring Boot 3
• JDA Discord API
• Gradle

Configuration

Create src/main/resources/application.properties locally:

discord.bot.token=YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
discord.bot.server-ip=127.0.0.1
discord.bot.channel-id=YOUR_CHANNEL_ID

Do not commit real bot tokens.

Run

./gradlew bootRun

Status

Pet project / automation practice. Useful next steps would be a Dockerfile, cleaner command handling, tests around status checks, and a safer deployment example.
