# PluralKit

PluralKit is a Discord bot meant for plural communities. It has features like message proxying through webhooks, switch tracking, system and member profiles, and more.

PluralKit has a Discord server for support and discussion: https://discord.gg/PczBt78 

# Requirements
Running the bot requires Python (specifically version 3.6) and PostgreSQL.

# Configuration
Configuring the bot is done through environment variables.

* TOKEN - the Discord bot token to connect with
* CLIENT_ID - the Discord bot client ID
* DATABASE_USER - the username to log into the database with
* DATABASE_PASS - the password to log into the database with
* DATABASE_NAME - the name of the database to use
* DATABASE_HOST - the hostname of the PostgreSQL instance to connect to
* DATABASE_PORT - the port of the PostgreSQL instance to connect to
* LOG_CHANNEL (optional) - a Discord channel ID the bot will post exception tracebacks in (make this private!)
