 # BibleBot
+Written by GeneralHurricane and GPT-CHAT (any errors are the fault of GPT-CHAT)
+
+## Info
+
+BibleBot regularly scans posts and comments for things that look like Bible refences `(?P<prefix>\w*?)? *(?P<book>[a-zA-Z]+?)\s?(?P<chapter>\d{1,3})(?::(?P<startverse>\d{1,3})(?:-(?P<endverse>\d{1,3})?)?)`, then supplies them from the MariaDb container.  It supports World English Bible by default, but has options for KJV, ASV, and a few more public domain translations.

-Fill in your `RDRAMA_API_TOKEN` and `BIBLEBOT_ID`.  You can change the user and password.
+Fill in your `RDRAMA_API_TOKEN` and `BIBLEBOT_ID`.  You can change the user and password for the MARIADB - both containers will pick up the same config.  Optionally add a Pushbullet key and device ID if you want to get a notification when BibleBot inevitably crashes.  It sorta uses backoff and retry on failed API calls, but not enough really.  Feel free to open a PR!
