webpigeon/errbot repository overview

⁠Docker container for errbot

Both the existing errbot docker containers are a little buggy and complicated. This is my simplifed errbot docker container. It is tuned for the xmpp backend at present but shouldn't be too hard to get other backends working.

⁠What it does

• Bot runs under non-root user
• Bot exposes data and plugin directories as volumes
• Bot exposes core configuration variables as envrioment variables

⁠What it still needs to do

• Expose more as envrioment variables
• Use virtualenv rather than global install for errbot (makes plugin auto-dependencies magic easier)

⁠Envrioment Variables

• ERRBOT_USERNAME
• ERRBOT_PASSWORD
• ERRBOT_ADMINS

⁠Example usage

sudo docker run -e [email protected] -e ERRBOT_PASSWORD=changeme -e [email protected] webpigeon/errbot

⁠Volumes

• /home/errbot -> config.py is here, but you should use envrioment variables rather than change this.
• /home/errbot/data -> data volume
• /home/errbot/plugins -> plugin volume
