Errbot backend for Rocket.Chat.
The backend logs in as a Rocket.Chat user, receiving and sending messages.
Tested working with:
Run:
cat <<'ZZZ' > docker-compose.yml
version: '2'
services:
rocket.chat:
depends_on:
- db
image: rocket.chat:0.48.1
ports:
- 3000:3000
volumes_from:
- db
environment:
ROOT_URL: http://127.0.0.1:3000
db:
image: mongo:3.4.0
ZZZ
Run:
docker-compose up
Open http://127.0.0.1:3000/
in browser.
Create a new user. The default config in rocketchat uses username
errbot
and password errbot
.
Run:
git clone https://github.com/cardoso/errbot-rocketchat
Run:
cd errbot-rocketchat
virtualenv venv
venv/bin/python setup.py install
This will install RocketChatErrbot's dependency packages, including Errbot.
The Errbot config module is located at errbot-rocketchat/src/rocketchat/config.py.
Tweak config values under ROCKETCHAT_CONFIG:
Run:
cd errbot-rocketchat/src/rocketchat
python -m errbot.cli
It is very easy to set up a daemon process for Errbots. For security reasons it should always be runned by a non-sudo user: sudo useradd -m --user-group errbot-runner
Create the following systemd file sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/errbot.service
:
[Unit]
Description=Errbot chatbot for Rocket.Chat
After=network.target
[Service]
Environment="LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8"
ExecStart=/home/errbot-runner/errbot-rocketchat/venv/bin/python -m errbot.cli
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
WorkingDirectory=/home/errbot-runner/errbot-rocketchat/src/rocketchat
User=errbot-runner
KillSignal=SIGINT
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Start the daemon and enable it to start at system reboot:
sudo systemctl start errbot.service
sudo systemctl enable errbot.service
To use the Dockerfile you simply need to create a config file in the root of the project with the config you wish to load.
then inside the source directory docker build -t rocketchaterrbot . && docker run rocketchaterrbot
