Coredump Flamebot

A chatbot that flames everything! Available on Telegram as @CoredumpFlameBot, but it also supports Mattermost.

Features

These are the tasteful features of Flamebot:

• Respond with insults to group chat messages with a certain probability
• Respond to Monkey Island insult sword fighting quotes
• Make new members in your chat group feel welcome by insulting them (Telegram only)

Usage

Setup:

• Run npm install to install dependencies.
• Copy example.env to .env and add the tokens

The bot will connect directly to Telegram. It will also open a webserver that is compatible with Mattermost Outgoing Webhooks.

    coredump/flamebot:latest

Required configuration variables (env):

Optional configuration variables (env):

• FLAMEBOT_PORT: What port to listen on for the Mattermost hook server (default 8000)
• FLAMEBOT_DEBUG: Whether to enable debug logging, either "true" or "false" (default false)
