Bobbit

bobbit is a simple and modular asynchronous IRC / Slack bot written in Python. The current version uses asyncio as its core networking and event processing backend.

Requirements

Configuration

Bobbit requires a configuration YAML file (bobbit.yaml) to run, which should be in the directory specified by config-dir (default: ~/.config/bobbit). An example config file looks like this:

nick:       "bobbit"
password:   <password>
owners:
    - <owner>
host:       <irc server>
port:       6667
channels:
    - <channel>

The following modules also require configuration files (in config-dir):

  • lookup: requires lookup.yaml. Here's an example:

    cool kids:
- I wish that I could be like the cool kids \\ 'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in

  • weather: optionally reads weather.yaml. Here's an example:

    default:    <zipcode>

Execution

To start the the bot, run bin/bobbit:

$ ./bin/bobbit -h
usage: bobbit [--config-dir CONFIG_DIR] [--log-path LOG_PATH] [--debug]
              [--local] [-h]

Simple Asynchronous IRC/Slack Bot

optional arguments:
  --config-dir CONFIG_DIR  Configuration directory (default: ~/.config/bobbit)
  --log-path LOG_PATH      Path to log file (default: None)
  --debug                  Enable debug logging (default: False)
  --local                  Enable local client (default: False)
  -h, --help               Show this help message and exit

Note: The local client (ie. --local) allows you to test the modules directly in the terminal by using standard input rather than connecting to an actual IRC or Slack network.

Docker

You can also start application using docker:

Building container

docker build --no-cache -t 'bobbit' .

Running:

docker run -it bobbit

You can pass args to application directly, also you can mount your config file using docker volumes, for example:

docker run -v /my-config-dir:/tmp/my-config-dir bobbit --config-dir /tmp/config-dir

And change default user with using --env argument, for example:

docker run -e USER=MYFANCYUSER bobbit --config-dir /tmp/config-dir
