A multi-use extensible bot for the slack api (based on the 'Slacker' slack api implementation) Passes commands to separate "modules" for appropriate handling.
Currently, the following three modules are installed:
This module parses the remainder of any command entered that is prefaced with !math
e.g. !math $\int_a^b\frac{\mathrm{d}{\mathrm{d}y}x^2dx$ will output the following:
It can be used to parse (somewhat) arbitrary fragments of latex code, not just math, though that is its primary use.
This module fetches patch notes for the latest patch of a specified game. For example,
!patch dota will fetch the latest Dota2 patch. Currently only dota and overwatch patch
notes are fetchable.
This module uses the recipepuppy.com search API to find recipies by keyword. Multiple
keywords can be used, just separate them with spaces e.g. !recipe baked ham.
You can also use !recipieI to specify ingredients rather than regular keywords
This bot has ONLY been tested on Linux (Mint 17 and Ubuntu 15) and will NOT work on Windows. It may be possible to run on Mac, but could require some fiddling. Install from the downloaded directory using:
root@machine~# ./install.sh
Pass the api token directly to the install script via -a or -A, or put it in /etc/slackbot/API.
Start bot by running # service slackbot start or # /var/www/slackbot/botd (the first
command allows systemd to manage the daemon, if systemd is not present on your server
or you simply do not wish to use it, the script may be run manually by the second command,
storing its pid in /var/run/slackbot.pid)
