NAME
BOTD - 24/7 channel daemon
SYNOPSIS
botctl <cmd> [key=value] [key==value]
DESCRIPTION
BOTD is a solid, non hackable bot, that runs under systemd as a 24/7 background service and starts the bot after reboot, intended to be programmable in a static, only code, no popen, no imports and no reading modules from a directory.
BOTD is programmable, to program the bot you have to have the code available as employing your own code requires that you install your own bot as the system bot. This is to not have a directory to read modules from to add commands to the bot but include the own programmed modules directly into the python code, so only trusted code (your own written code) is included and runnable. Reading random code from a directory is what gets avoided. As experience tells os.popen and __import__, importlib are also avoided.
BOTD stores it's data on disk where objects are time versioned and the last version saved on disk is served to the user layer. Files are JSON dumps that are read-only so thus should provide (disk) persistence more chance. Paths carry the type in the path name what makes reconstruction from filename easier then reading type from the object.
Only include your own written code should be the path to "secure".
