# ModReplyBot

ModReplyBot is a Reddit bot for moderators that automates post approval and stickied comments based on subreddit wiki configuration. It responds to mod comments and mod reports containing trigger phrases, and auto-comments on posts with configured tags. All configuration is managed via a subreddit wiki page and environment variables.

## Features
- Responds to moderator comments containing trigger phrases (starting with `!`)
- Responds to moderator reports containing trigger phrases (starting with `!`)
- Approves posts and leaves stickied comments
- Posts automatic comments based on tags in post titles (e.g., `[Bedrock]`, `[Java]`)
- Triggers, tag comments, and bot config are managed via a subreddit wiki page
- Notifies mods via modmail when the config wiki page changes or is invalid
- Persistent database for auto-commented posts (survives restarts and container recreations)
- Docker and baremetal support

## Configuration

### 1. Wiki Page Configuration
Edit your subreddit wiki page (name set by `REDDIT_WIKI_PAGE` env variable) with YAML like:

```
triggers:
  - trigger: help
    comment: |
      Thank you for your report!
      This post is now approved.
    status: enabled
  - trigger: wc
    comment: |
      Welcome to the community!
    status: log-only

post_tags:
  - tag: Bedrock, Java
    comment: |
      __[Click here if your post says "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters"](...)__
    status: enabled
```

- Triggers: Bot responds to mod comments and mod reports containing `!trigger` (e.g., `!help`) with the configured comment.
- post_tags: Bot posts the comment automatically on new posts with matching tags in the title.
- Status options: `enabled`, `log-only`, `disabled`.

### 2. Environment Variables
Create a `.env` file (or set env variables directly) with:


```
REDDIT_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
REDDIT_USERNAME=your_username
REDDIT_PASSWORD=your_password
REDDIT_USER_AGENT=modreplybot by /u/your_username
REDDIT_SUBREDDIT=your_subreddit
REDDIT_WIKI_PAGE=modreplybot-config
LOG_LEVEL=Default
```

docker compose up -d
docker run --env-file .env -v $(pwd)/DB:/app/DB slfhstd.uk/slfhstd/modreplybot:latest
pip install -r requirements.txt

## Installation

### Docker Compose (Recommended)
1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your values.
2. Run:

```
docker compose up -d
```

* The DB folder is mounted for persistent database storage.

### Docker Run
1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your values.

```

### Baremetal (Direct Python)
1. Install Python 3.11+

## Troubleshooting
- Ensure your Reddit credentials are correct and have moderator permissions.
- The bot must be able to read the wiki page and approve posts.
- Check logs for errors.
- The bot only responds to mod comments and mod reports for triggers.
- Database is stored in DB/commented_posts.txt and survives container restarts.
- If the wiki config is invalid, the bot will notify mods via modmail and pause until fixed.
