leastbot - Least Authority ircbot / webhook thingy.
Project description
Scratching an itch.
Recommended Deployment on Debian-like
Install system-wide recent virtualenv as per these instructions.
install C build stuff for dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev libffi-dev
Create a specific user:
sudo adduser --disabled-password leastbot
Become that user:
sudo su - leastbot
Create and activate a virtualenv for leastbot and its dependencies:
mkdir ./leastbotvenv virtualenv ./leastbotvenv source ./leastbotvenv/bin/activate
Install service_identity for some weird reason I don’t quite understand but seems related to the python cryptography package:
pip install service_identity
Install leastbot from pypi (into the activated virtualenv):
pip install leastbot
Run leastbot to see an error message about how the secret config file is missing:
leastbot
Cut and paste the output of the last command into the path it specifies, then edit that file to fit your secret credentials (one for github, one for irc).
(Also, you probably want to make this file readable only by the leastbot user.)
Repeat the “missing config” process for the public config:
leastbot
Cut, paste, edit, public config.
Finally, run leastbot, which should succeed and connect to irc:
leastbot
Verify leastbot has joined the expected irc channel by viewing its log output and also by joining the channel with another irc client and observing the channel roster and/or join notifications.
Go configure github webhook notifications to point to your leastbot web port. Test them by clicking test buttons.
