Easier deployment #170

Open balupton opened 7 years ago

balupton commented 7 years ago

Hey, I've setup https://github.com/bevry/slackirc as a wrapper for easier deployment.

Currently it has easy deployment to heroku, but can add others.

Inspiration is https://github.com/rauchg/slackin

Would be cool for a readme mention

Thanks! I'm a bit hesitant towards recommending Heroku for slack-irc though. Don't get me wrong, Heroku is great, but the fact that dynos are restarted once a day makes it slightly less than optimal for IRC bots (lots of joins/parts for a bot!). I wrote about it here as well: https://github.com/ekmartin/slack-irc/issues/12#issuecomment-84958867

Well. Fortunately for me I have a grandfathered account with enough credits each month to keep it online. However I can add the necessary one click deployment scripts to the repo for other services too, if you have any suggestions. Slackin supports a few others, but I wouldn't know which are better.
