An informal Slack bot with features similar to IRC bots.
Several plugins use a PostgreSQL database for persistent data. To use these features, a database will need to be provisioned.
Once provisioned, you can run the migrations in the /db/ directory using
dbmate. These migrations also inject some test data.
Once migrated, export the PostgreSQL connection string in the environment
variable DATABASE_URL.
As a Slack App, the app must be created and provisioned in the target workspace. The required permissions are specified in the manifest.yml file, which can also be used to initialize the Slack App.
The privileges specified in the manifest cover everything the bot currently does. Any new actions added may require adding new permissions to your app.
Conversely, permissions may be removed from the app. This may result in errors or crashing for any features that rely on the removed persmissions.
Plugins can be disabled by commenting out their inclusion in the plugins/index.
