standbot

Because the world needs one more bot.

Hacking on standbot

Clone the repo, cd into it, then run:

npm install

Before running it, copy config.template.js to config.js and edit the values. You will need a Slack API token for the bot. The rest of the configuration is well documented in the template.

To start it up:

npm run reset
npm start

Data is persisted in a sqlite database at storage/db.sqlite. Note that running a reset will delete and recreate that database.

Code formatting consitency is maintained via prettier. Please make sure any changes you propose have been run through prettier with the following options: --single quote --trailing-comma es5.

Running on Docker

In this directory, build the image:

docker build -t standbot .

To run it, create your config.js file and also create a directory to mount for the sqlite database. Then run the container:

docker run -d \
  -v /path/to/config.js:/usr/src/app/config.js \
  -v /path/to/storage/directory:/usr/src/app/storage \
  standbot
