looking how old pobbot got broken and stopped showing players,
and after being asked by @Groshyr to try repairing the old one, I decided

and here it comes the DarkBot

wiki can be found here

example of work:
[Image: general.png]

Current features

Tracking bases health / name / affiliation
Tracking players in chosen space regions and systems (trackable area)
Distinguishing friends and enemies in trackable area
Making @here alert in discord, if amount of players above thresholds (default: disabled)
Separated alerts for unregocnized players, friends and enemies
Auto erasing messages older than 40 seconds in connected channel
Ability to clear all msgs manually

Plans for the future

When Alex would process my code additions for Flhook:

Alerts for base attacks
Showing which player bases have ore for sale or for buying
Same for devices selling/buying at the player bases
Same could be also used to track Food/Water/Oxygen at the bases

Developers

@darkwind (Python / Testing / Deployment)
@Alex. (FLhook and API)

Looking good, nice easy commands to follow through the wiki you have linked. Be cool to see what else this bot can do. Keep up the good work.

Darkbot returns as Darkbot3.

It underwent a major refactorization and now reimplemented in golang with clean architecture for code scalability to add new features
general stability added, because all errors are now handled way better with Golang approach that handles most of them at compile time.
project saves ready for deployment docker images at docker hub
darkbot has its own server now only for itself

# Features

Adding player bases for tracking in discord channel

# Project status

in active development until at least all planned features are added from the list "Comin soon" and "For later"
May have some issues which will be resolved as soon as possible
May went through database wipes during deployments of new releases. Announcement about new releases will be made into Discord channel where it joined and here.

# Future plans: Comming Soon

Adding players for tracking based on tag in nickname or star systems / regions to track
Adding configurable alert triggers to base and player tracking

# Future plans: For later

Adding forum post for tracking

# Future plans: For more later

Adding resource tracking at player bases
Adding some useful help scripts to calculate analytics

# How to get started

invite both to server by link
add to some channel by writing . connect
get help which commands are available by . --help or requesting help on sub commands . base --help
add base tag for tracking . base add Research Station
confirm it was added . base list
in around 20 seconds you should see rendered and constantly updated view at this channel
remove tag by . base remove Research Station or by . base clear

Reported Issue:
Storage was ephemeral and self deleted itself during auto recovery from problems

Status:
Issue is solved
Storage is changed to persistent

Reported issue:
Unexpected high CPU and disk writing takes place at some point of time. Taking up to 100% of resources, including high disk resource writing
Leading at some point to auto reboot of kube cluster

Status:

2023-01-25: Temporal solution #1 for autorecovery during this problem is ensured to be. Application will autorelaunch on its own during if problem will happen again
2023-01-25: Temporal solution #2 is found. Added limit to running POD in terms of CPU, which will force its automated restart if it goes above the limit. It will ensure automated restart within healthy parameters of a server
2023-01-26: 24 hours passed without repeated incident in CPU peaks, monitoring for few days more.

2023-01-29: Source reason is identified: in 1 hour RAM storage is overfilled with scrapped data, which leads to using disk swap, which causes intensive desk reading/writing, which leads to cluster death and reboot.
2023-01-29: Source reason is fixed in #19
2023-01-29: Awaiting deployment
2023-01-30: deployed as v0.1.1. issues is solved. Monitoring results

Excellent progress @darkwind --- This is awesome!
Keep up the good work and thanks for all the efforts Smile

I am looking forward to seeing a better fancy layout/format for the POBs information by the bot.
