Setting up your own splinterlands bot

While searching for a splinterlands bot I stumbled across the following github repository:

https://github.com/alfficcadenti/splinterlands-bot

The author of the project @a1492dc or @splinterlava has graciously made his project open source and thus created the possibility for all of us to let the computer do some of the DEC farming work for us.

Here is a little documentation on how you can get this bot running locally too.

Download the source code

Navigate to the terminal and execute the following command:

git clone https://github.com/alfficcadenti/splinterlands-bot.git

Install the dependencies


cd splinterlands-bot/
npm install


Configure the bot


vim .env-example

to open the configuration file. Change the values of account and password.
Execute

mv .env-example .env

to rename the file to .env

Start the bot

execute the following command:

node main.js


Add splinterlands service

To start the bot automatically at system startup, the following steps are necessary


cd /etc/systemd/system


vim splinterlands.service


inform the system about the new service

systemctl daemon-reload

start the new service

systemctl start splinterland.service

read the logs of the service

journalctl -u splinterland.service -f

to start the service after boot

systemctl enable splinterland.service
