Tech404logs

This robot indexes channels on tech404. Simply invite @indexbot to your channel to add it to the index. It listens in the channel and logs messages in real time, so it cannot index past content.

Usage

You need the following environment variables defined:

• DATABASE_URL: A PostgreSQL database URL, e.g. postgres://localhost/tech404logs
• SLACK_TOKEN: Crate a bot integration and store the token in this variable.
• HOME_CHANNEL: The main channel, which will be shown at the root path. Do not include the # hash mark. Usually "general."
• WEB_DOMAIN: The domain and port (if other than 80) that the web app is accessible on. This is used to redirect requests to non-canonical domains. (e.g. to the herokuapp.com domain rather than your own domain). In development it may be localhost:5000.

Run the indexing robot:

$ bin/chatbot

Run the web server:

$ rackup

Or run them both with Foreman:

$ foreman start

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
