Errbot Slack

Run Errbot with a Slack backend, in Docker.

Setup

First, set up the directory structure and grab the configuration template:

mkdir errbot
cd errbot/
mkdir data plugins
curl -o config.py http://errbot.io/en/latest/_downloads/config-template.py

The structure should look like this:

errbot
└─ data/       # Persisted data for the bot and plugins.
└─ plugins/    # Additional plugins installed.
└─ config.py   # Bot configuration file.

At this point, follow the instructions in config.py to configure the bot (for more info, refer to Slack configuration):

vi config.py

You will need at least the following entries:

BACKEND = 'Slack'
BOT_DATA_DIR = '/errbot/data'
BOT_EXTRA_PLUGIN_DIR = '/errbot/plugins'
BOT_IDENTITY = {'token': 'xoxb-SLACK-TOKEN-FOR-THE-BOT'}
CHATROOM_PRESENCE = ()

Then run the Docker container:

docker run \
    -d \
    --restart=always \
    --name errbot \
    -v "$PWD/data:/errbot/data" \
    -v "$PWD/plugins:/errbot/plugins" \
    -v "$PWD/config.py:/errbot/config.py" \
