BirthdayBot

Reads a csv file with birthdays, and executes a Discord webhook for every entry matching today's date.

Not yet ready for public use. The webhook message is in Dutch.

Docker deployment

The docker image comes with cron pre-installed and you can optionally make the bot run on a cron schedule. To do this, use the command schedule when starting the container. The cron schedule should be set in the SCHEDULE environment variable.

Alternatively you can run the bot directly by starting the container with dotnet /app/BirthdayBot.dll and you could use an external scheduler to start the container.

Environment variables:

• WEBHOOK_URI, required
• CSV_PATH, optional (default is birthdays.csv in the current working directory, which is /app)
• TZ, optional, but you should set it according to your target audience. Provide a tzdata file relative to /usr/share/zoneinfo (ex: Europe/Paris)
• SCHEDULE, optional, only used if using cron (see above). If not specified, the default will be 0 6 * * *
