dorkbot
A Lita.io bot for New Dork City Slack community.
Read more on Slack bots.
Develop locally
Create an .env file with override environment variables, like:
LITA_SLACK_TOKEN=abcdefghijklmnop
LITA_ADAPTER=shell # to use the local shell adapter instead of Slack
See lita_config.rb for any more variables you can set.
Uses docker-compose with VirtualBox:
docker-compose build
docker-compose run --rm lita
# Cleanup
docker-compose stop
docker-compose rm
See docker-compose.yml for details.
Note: Cannot run docker-compose up until
docker/compose#1374 released.
The volumes statement in the docker-compose.yml will mount all the files in
the root directory.
Assists with running the lita container without requiring a full rebuild while
working on configs or custom extensions. See .dockerignore for exclusions.
The brain container persists to the Docker host.
Deployment
The project deploys to Heroku automatically on merges to master branch.
This has some caveats - such as using the heroku Redis store has no persistence,
and that I've used the Heroku scheduler to keep the bot online during "business hours".
A future change will be to migrate the project to an always-on service with a persistent data layer.
Other
-
Run bot in interactive bash shell and override an environment variable:
docker-compose run --rm --entrypoint /bin/bash -e LITA_ADAPTER=shell lita
