Flottbot is a chatbot framework written in Go. But there's a catch, you don't need to know a lick of Go! Configure your bot via YAML files, extend functionality by writing scripts in your favorite language.
The philosophy behind flottbot is to create very simple, lightweight, "dumb" bots that interact with APIs and scripts which house a bot's business logic. The word flott comes from the German word meaning quick/speedy.
go get -u github.com/target/flottbot/cmd/flottbotBinaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows are available as Github Releases.
We currently provide a few Docker images:

target/flottbot:golang - Alpine image, flottbot binary, and golang v1.14 installed

Note: We highly recommend pinning your image to a version, ie. target/flottbot:0.5.0 or target/flottbot:ruby-0.5.0
Note: The images run with the unprivileged flottbot user (uid/gid 900) by default
