Alisa

Cute and kindhearted IRC bot.

What can it do?

(alisa denotes current bot's nick)

Find URLs in messages and send brief info about them (title for HTML, content type and size for rest)
Log chat to Lucene and search it via chat or web. Say alisa: log for help.
Show recently played Last.fm track. Say alisa: lf. If your IRC ~username (not nick!) is different from your Last.fm username you have to pair it by saying alisa: lf your_lastfm_username. You have to do this only once. You can also append integer offset to show n-th recent track. np is alias for lf.

How can I build it?

You need JDK8 and sbt (Scala Build Tool).

	sbt onejar

This will produce one big JAR with all dependencies in target/alisa-VERSION.jar.

How can I run it?

You need JRE8.

Run with test alisa.conf in current directory
```
  java -jar target/alisa-VERSION.jar
```

Run with other config

  java -jar target/alisa-VERSION.jar /etc/alisa.conf

Run with verbose logging

  java -jar target/alisa-VERSION.jar -d

Run as daemon via systemd service file

Do following as root:

  useradd -rU alisa
  mkdir /var/lib/alisa
  chown alisa:alisa /var/lib/alisa
  chmod 700 /var/lib/alisa
  cp target/alisa-VERSION.jar /usr/local/share/alisa.jar
  cp alisa.conf /etc
  chmod 640 /etc/alisa.conf
  chgrp alisa /etc/alisa.conf

  cp alisa.service /etc/systemd/system
  systemctl --system daemon-reload
  systemctl start alisa.service

Run as daemon via LSB init script (Debian example)

You also need bash, logger and start-stop-daemon. Do following as root:

  useradd -rU alisa
  mkdir /var/lib/alisa
  chown alisa:alisa /var/lib/alisa
  chmod 700 /var/lib/alisa
  cp target/alisa-VERSION.jar /usr/local/share/alisa.jar
  cp alisa.conf /etc
  chmod 640 /etc/alisa.conf
  chgrp alisa /etc/alisa.conf

  cp init /etc/init.d/alisa

  # on Debian
  update-rc.d alisa defaults

  # on CentOS (untested)
  #chkconfig --add alisa

  # on distro with lsb-core (untested)
  #/usr/lib/lsb/install_initd /etc/init.d/alisa

  /etc/init.d/alisa start

TODO

Better modularity (global/network/channel)
log: Log into PostgreSQL, Lucene is huge and it's not that much useful here
network: Fix reconnecting already ffs
