vexbot

Pluggable bot

Under development. Very useable but currently not feature complete.

Requirements

Requires python 3.5 for asyncio and only runs on linux.

If you're a python developer, you can probably get this to run on not linux.

Installation

You will need an active DBus user session bus. Depending on your distro, you might already have one (Arch linux, for example).

For Ubuntu:

$ apt-get install dbus-user-session python3-gi python3-dev python3-pip build-essential

For everyone:

$ python3 -m venv <DIR>

$ source <DIR>/bin/activate

$ ln -s /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi <DIR>/lib/python3.5/site-packages/

$ pip install vexbot[process_manager]

Configuring

Make sure your virtual environment is activated. Then run:

$ vexbot_generate_certificates

$ vexbot_generate_unit_file

$ systemctl --user daemon-reload

Your bot is ready to run!

Running

$ systemctl --user start vexbot

Or

$ vexbot_robot

Please note that vexbot has a client/server architecture. The above commands will launch the server. To launch the command line client:

$ vexbot

Exit the command line client by typing !exit or using ctl+D.
