quarantinebot

Slack bot which tells you how long you've been quarantined in units of tiger emojis.

Written in Kotlin
Built with the blazing-fast Micronaut framework

Creating a Slack bot

Create an app via https://api.slack.com/. Add it to your workspace.

Event subscriptions

Subscribe to bot events: app_mention, message.channels, and message.im.

Permissions

Add scopes for app_mentions:read, im:history, and chat:write.

Bots

Enable Always Show My Bot as Online.

Running tests locally

Do a ./gradlew build to generate kapt annotations.
Run tests as usual in IntelliJ.

Running application locally

Included in the build is Micronaut's Netty server. Invoke ./gradlew run to start it on port 8080. Make sure to set the SLACK_TOKEN environment variable to your Slack app's token.

Running application in Docker

Included is a multistage Dockerfile which builds a minimal OpenJDK11 container.

docker build . -t quarantinebot
docker run -p8080:8080 quarantinebot

Health check endpoints

I included health check endpoints accessible at "/health" which returns a JSON payload:

{
  "status": "UP"
}

Deployment

In production, I run this on Google Cloud Run.

I have a Cloud Build trigger set up on pushes to the master branch of this repo that automatically deploys it.
