wmb: A Go repository from cfindlayisme

Very simple bot to send IRC messages from webhooks.

Launching

See docker-compose.yaml for an example of how to launch the bot. Just have to change envionment variables and run docker-compose up -d

Builds exist for amd64 amd arm64 architectures in the docker repo, so it should work on most systems incl raspberry pis and x86_64 systems.

Envionment Variables

IRC_SERVER in server:port format
IRC_CHANNEL
IRC_NICK
PASSWORD (Not IRC password, but password for the webhook. Sort of like an API key you define)
NICKSERV_PASSWORD (Optional)
OTHER_IRC_CHANNELS (Optional, comma separated list of channels to join on launch that are not the main channel)
PORT (Optional, what port to have the webserver listen on, defaults to 8080)
SELF_MODE (Optional, what mode to set on self once joined to IRC server. Defaults nothing, but should be +B on some servers)
DBFILE (Optional, what file to use for the database, defaults to wmb.db - be sure to map properly if inside docker)

API documentation

See API Reference for more information on how to use the API's endpoints in your projects. This details all the schema, endpoints, and variables available.

Examples

See Examples for some examples of how to use the bot in your projects.

Building

See Building for information on how to build the bot if not using a published build.

nginx reverse proxy

location /wmb {
    rewrite /wmb/(.*) /$1  break;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}

In your desired config. Then you can POST to domain.tld/wmb/message to send out a webhook.

Resource usage

For those of you running this on tiny VMs, the resource usage is pretty low - barely any CPU usage, and about 12MB of RAM usage (which is pretty good considering it's running an IRC client and a web server.)

But why?

I wanted to get notifications in IRC from my various systems, and particularly my GitHub action pipelines. This does that.
