Run the Sopel IRC bot in a Docker container.
docker build -t boxbox/sopel .
Create a directory where you want to store the config, log and data files (can also be a volume container); adjust the name to your likings:
mkdir /tmp/mybot
This Docker config does use an unprivileged user in the container for increased security. Therefore you have to give the ownership to the sopel user:
chown -R 1000:1000 /tmp/mybot
Initialize the bot configuration:
docker run --rm -it -v /tmp/mybot:/home/sopel/.sopel boxbox/sopel sopel -w
Create and run the bot:
docker run -d --name mybot -v /tmp/mybot:/home/sopel/.sopel boxbox/sopel
If you want it to autostart, add --restart=always.
You can, at any time, run specific Sopel commands. For example:
docker run --rm -it -v ... boxbox/sopel sopel --configure-modules
