Radiobot for Slack

WARNING

This is very much not ready. It's in development.

What?

It's a bot to help you set up your own radio station with channels (playlists) and crap. Yay!

Installation

Bot Slack API Key

You need a Slack API key for your bot.

Go to your Slack instance, go to Integrations, then Bot integrations, and make a new one.

Grab that API key. Save it for the config file in a second.

Manually...

Clone this repo, make sure you have node and npm installed!

Edit the package.json with your name.

Run npm install to install dependencies.

Rename config.sample.js to config.js and edit it with your own config.

Run node /path/to/bot.js /path/to/config.js to get it running. Even if your config file is in the same directory as the bot, you still have to specify the relative path, i.e. ./config.js.

Invite radiobot to your channel!

... or with Docker

You can also use this with Docker! Update the Dockerfile with your email address.

docker build -t your-name/radiobot .
docker run -d your-name/radiobot

Nice.

Note: this bot makes library/playlist backups to JSON files for persistence, and that won't really work if you are using docker.

Usage

... to be written fully, still in dev ...

Examples:

Add a video to the default playlist: @radiobot add https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB63ztKnGvo
Set the info for a link: @radiobot set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB63ztKnGvo disclosure - omen
