ya know, I’ve looked into it. one of the biggest problems with bots is that they have to be hosted from somewhere. that’s my first hiccup.

I’d LOVE to make this a bot, but I don’t know where I’d host it from.

The project has a dockerfile to create the Docker image with the required LAMP stack and python dependencies.
