# Discord Rare Monitor Bot
A Discord bot that monitors the Dereth Tracker WebSocket stream for rare discoveries and posts filtered notifications to Discord channels.
## Features
- **Real-time Monitoring**: Connects to Dereth Tracker WebSocket for instant rare notifications
- **Smart Classification**: Automatically classifies rares as "common" or "great" based on keywords
- **Rich Embeds**: Posts formatted Discord embeds with location and timestamp information
- **Dual Channels**: Posts to separate channels for common and great rares
- **Robust Connection**: Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff on connection failures
## Rare Classification
### Common Rares
Items containing these keywords (except "Frore Crystal"):
- Crystal
- Jewel
- Pearl
- Elixir
- Kit
### Great Rares
All other rare discoveries not classified as common.
## Configuration
The bot is configured via environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `DISCORD_RARE_BOT_TOKEN` | Required | Discord bot token |
| `DERETH_TRACKER_WS_URL` | `ws://dereth-tracker:8765/ws/position` | WebSocket URL |
| `COMMON_RARE_CHANNEL_ID` | `1355328792184226014` | Discord channel for common rares |
| `GREAT_RARE_CHANNEL_ID` | `1353676584334131211` | Discord channel for great rares |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | Logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR) |
## Docker Usage
The bot is designed to run as a Docker container alongside the Dereth Tracker services:
```bash
# Build and start all services including the Discord bot
docker-compose up -d
# View bot logs
docker-compose logs discord-rare-monitor
# Restart just the bot
docker-compose restart discord-rare-monitor
```
## Manual Setup
1. Create a Discord application and bot at https://discord.com/developers/applications
2. Get the bot token and invite the bot to your Discord server
3. Set the `DISCORD_RARE_BOT_TOKEN` environment variable
4. Ensure the bot has permissions to send messages in the target channels
## Message Format
The bot listens for WebSocket messages with this structure:
```json
{
"type": "rare",
"character_name": "PlayerName",
"name": "Dark Heart",
"timestamp": "2025-06-22T16:00:00Z",
"ew": 12.34,
"ns": -56.78,
"z": 10.5
}
```
## Architecture
- **WebSocket Client**: Connects to Dereth Tracker's WebSocket stream
- **Message Filter**: Only processes `{"type": "rare"}` messages
- **Classifier**: Determines rare type based on name keywords
- **Discord Client**: Posts formatted embeds to appropriate channels
- **Retry Logic**: Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff
## Dependencies
- `discord.py>=2.3.0` - Discord API client
- `websockets>=11.0.0` - WebSocket client library
## Benefits
- **Zero Duplication**: Each rare generates exactly one notification
- **Real-time**: Instant notifications via WebSocket stream
- **Lightweight**: Minimal resource usage (~50MB RAM)
- **Reliable**: Robust error handling and reconnection logic
- **Integrated**: Seamlessly works with existing Dereth Tracker infrastructure
