This is zdaemon.
It is the python version, since few have survived looking at the legacy perl version.
Configuration of maintainers, directories, and class name need to be made in zdaemon.json (see sample file). Additionally, a zuliprc from the bot config on zulip must be provided (possibly via the --config-file parameter)
It is recommended you get a baseline set of the data files from production to get a good sample of data to work with. Failing this, you will need to create ppdata.sqlite and cube.sqlite using the schemas described in plusplus.py and cube.py respectively. You will also want to have at least one cube slurped before things start to act normal. Finally, sending a single cube may be required to fully fill in the data.
Deployments need to provide the zuliprc, zdaemon.json, and triggers.yaml config files, as well as the data directory where zdaemon will keep its databases.
- Build the image
docker build -t zdaemon .
- Run the image (something like this interactive/attached version). Note the config files can be read only.
docker run -v ./data:/home/zdaemon/data -v ./zdaemon.json:/home/zdaemon/zdaemon.json:ro -v /home/zdaemon/.zuliprc:/home/zdaemon/zuliprc:ro -v ./triggers.yaml:/home/zdaemon/triggers.yaml:ro -w /home/zdaemon -it zdaemon
There is a sample Docker Compose YAML file you can also examine, compose.yml.sample.
To configure the slack bot, create a new app at https://api.slack.com. The repository has a sample manifest describing the needed scopes and permissions in slack-bot.yaml.sample (but you probably want to change the bot name).
The production triggers file is not available in the public repository, however a sample file
(triggers.yaml.sample) is available to see how to create new triggers.
- zdaemon was originally authored by Kevin Miller in December of 1998.
- From about 2005-2023, minor updates including transitioning it to support Zulip were performed by Adam Pennington and Chris Tuttle
- In 2024 a full rewrite to Python was done by Rob Siemborski. Shortly thereafter, support for slack was added.
- Perry Naseck has also made various contributions, including the external config for triggers.
