portnamer

A bot that can tell you what service is on what port. Gamified!

Installation

Do you need to install this? Do you want to just add Port Namer to your Slack team or on Messenger? Coming soon!

To install you'll need to:

git clone this repository.
cp .env.example .env
Enter your bot token you got from Slack and enter it in the .env file
Run yarn to install dependencies
Finally, npm start or npm run dev. The difference is the dev script runs nodemon, so any changes to the /src dir will cause the app to reload automatically, whereas the start script runs forever to make it automatically spin back up after crashes.

Deploying

We recommend deploying with now. Go to https://my.slack.com/services/new/bot and get a Bot API key. You can also name portnamer. Copy that to your clipboard. Then deploy with one command!

now -e SLACK_TOKEN=[your slack token]

This will give you a url. You now have a Slackbot living in the cloud!

Usage

You can either mention @portnamer in a channel after you invite it, or DM it directly. Start by saying either hi or help.

TODO

Get random port intent - need to conversationalize it
Use NLP service instead of Regex

Contributions

There's so many ways to make this better and I have little time to work on it. If you like it and might think of using it for fun or productivity, you should contribute!
