Running spamdb - Download from GitHub

python3.9+, pip3, pymongo, and the requests module are required. If you don't have python3, use your package manager or the downloads page to install it, then get pip3, pymongo, and requests with command line:

python -m ensurepip --upgrade
# NOTE - On windows it might be "py -m ensurepip --upgrade"
pip3 install pymongo requests

The lila-db-seed/spamdb/spamdb.py script can do a few things. Usage help:

cd spamdb
python3 ./spamdb.py --help

Usually, the script will generate a new set of data from inputs in the provided arguments as well as the spamdb/data directory. This data will be merged into your running mongodb instance at 127.0.0.1:27071 by default. To customize connection details use the --uri argument. Set the password for your users with the --password flag (otherwise they will default to "password"). Set the default background in user prefs with --user-bg (default is dark mode, use 400 for transparency). For other options see spamdb.py --help. Add, remove, or modify entries to the various .txt files in the data directory if you want to customize fluffy stuff.

Do consider providing different passwords than the default if your dev instance will be exposed to others.
