Rasa Deployment

Deploying Rasa Open Source Bot over Cloud using Docker with API enabled and using auth token for verification.

Prerequisites:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Instructions:

For deploying over Server:

• Create the VM instance of Ubuntu over Compute Engine

• once the instance is created login to the VM using SSH

• Run the below commands and clone our Docker app:

• sudo apt-get update

1) Install Docker

• curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh

• sudo sh get-docker.sh

2) Install Docker-Compose

• sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.28.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

• sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

• docker-compose --version

3) Clone the Docker App

• git clone https://github.com/athenasaurav/pizza-bot.git

• cd pizza-bot

4) Installing NGINX

• sudo apt-get update

• sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

• sudo add-apt-repository universe

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot

• sudo apt-get update

• sudo apt-get install certbot

To get a certificate (you will need a domain name and email ready in this step):

• sudo certbot certonly --standalone

Enter Email and choose correct options to install certbot

5) Moving freshly created certificates to Docker Application Directory

• mkdir certs

• sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomainname/fullchain.pem ./certs

• sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomainname/privkey.pem ./certs

** Remember to change the yourdomainname to appropriate domain name name without http or https or www

6) Build the Docker app and run the services:

• docker-compose build

It will download the necessary docker images and will build the containers for us. Once the containers are ready , we can run the following command to make the containers up in running state:

• sudo docker-compose up -d

• Check whether the services are up and running using below command:

• docker ps -a

• Once you see all the services up and running, open the ip address of the machine in the browser and test the bot

7) To update the existing images after re-cloning

Reclone the github with changes

shutdown docker with

• docker-compose down

Re build the docker image with

• docker-compose build

then just do

• docker-compose restart

Instructions: To connect to BOT over POSTMAN

To connect using POSTMAN we will use Rest Channel and Do POST request

url :

https://yourwebsite.com/webhooks/rest/webhook

header : NONE

Body

{
    "message":"tenios_start",
    "sender" : "username"
}

Here is a screenshot showing the request POSTMAN

The Curl Request will be like this :

curl --location --request POST 'https://yourwebsite.com/webhooks/rest/webhook' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "message":"tenios_start",
    "sender" : "username"
}'
