Add dotenv/ngork instructions to the README.md to help with testing on local machine #22

Open stucamp opened 4 years ago

Probably need to add a blurb on how to set up the .env file (in the src directory) so that people can set it up to work on their own local testing env and development slack workspace. Also, include the ngrok instructions allowing people to host the bot on their machine using a proxy endpoint.

Should have asked this on the meeting - What's your thoughts on Docker-izing the bot for local serving?

stucamp commented 4 years ago

the issue is gonna be that the slack events api requires an endpoint with ssl... which means that most people are gonna have a hard time getting such a test endpoint set up on their home network... ngrok essentially provides that endpoint for you and then pipes it back to localhost:port... bypassing the need to mince with your local router/firewall configs

May be able to set up docker in conjunction with ngrok though...🤔
