Devbot

Devbot is the University of Nottingham Application Development team's instance of Hubot.

It's used exclusively for the App Dev Slack team, to provide useful integration functionality through a single scriptable point.

This repository also contains utility bits for running hubot inside a simple node-js Docker container.

Usage

1. Have Docker.
2. Set the HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN environment variable
3. Inside the repository root: docker-compose up

Alternatively if you have a Rancher infrastructure you can rancher-compose up as appropriate

Note for testing: you can specify the environment variable temporarily as follows:

• bash and derivatives:
  • HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxx docker-compose up
  • the environment variable only applies to that command
• powershell
  • & { $env:HUBOT_SLACK_TOKEN='xxxxxxxxxxxx'; docker-compose up }
  • the environment variable only applies to the current powershell session

Contributing

We have some issues. Feel free to make pull requests against them.

We are more likely to consider and accept pull requests against existing issues (which we can curate) rather than arbitrary pull requests that add spammy external scripts that nobody asked for.

If you are using our stuff (the dockerfile, custom scripts etc.) and encounter problems with them, feel free to submit issues detailing your experiences, and if appropriate make pull requests to rectify them.
