Note on accessing the bot
This bot requires that there be a publicly accessible interactions endpoint URL. You're on your own for this as the setup entirely depends on your system. I run an Apache webserver that proxies requests for /sily-bot
to http://127.0.0.1:3000/
with the following:
<VirtualHost *:443>
# ...
SSLProxyEngine on
<Location /sily-bot>
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:3000/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:3000/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
