WeatherGoat is my personal Discord bot for reporting weather forecasts and alerts to my server. It uses the National Weather Service API, is built with Python (Disnake) and Redis, and runs in a Docker container.
Create a config.toml file in the root directory:
[weathergoat]
# The user ID that owns this bot
owner_id = 123
[sentry]
# DSN of your Sentry project to track errors
# Leave as "" to disable
dsn = ""
[cleanup]
# The cron expression that determines when to delete previously sent messages
schedule = "0 5 * * *"
# The timezone to use alongside the aforementioned cron expression
# See `all_timezones` in the `pytz` package
timezone = "US/Eastern"
# Channel IDs to delete messages in, normally set to the alert and forecast channels to keep them tidy
# Note that the bot will delete *all* messages in these channels indiscriminately!
# Set to an empty array (channel_ids = []) to disable cleanup
channel_ids = [456, 789]
[forecast]
# The cron expression that determines when a forecast report will be sent
# For example use "0 8,13,19 * * *" to report at 8AM, 1PM, and 7PM
cron_expression = "0 13 * * *"
# The timezone to use alongside the aforementioned cron expression
# See `all_timezones` in the `pytz` package
timezone = "US/Eastern"

# Channel ID to report alerts to
channel_id = 456
# The "zone ID" of the location to check alerts for - see https://www.weather.gov/media/documentation/docs/NWS_Geolocation.pdf
