Selbot2

Database

The bot utilizes a PostgreSQL database for persisting data. Follow the installation guides for help getting setup locally.

A database needs to be created and the DATABASE_URL environment variable needs to be set. Typically, localhost is used for development: DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/database For use in production, the url should be in the form:

DATABASE_URL=postgres://user:password@host:port/database

Required tables will be genereted automatically by the app.

Startup

To run the bot locally, try:

$ bundle install $ SELBOT_CHANNEL=#my-test-channel bundle exec ruby -I lib bin/selbot2.rb Note that startup is for unknown reasons quite slow. Disabling plugins may or may not help this.

In production, use:

$ OPENISSUEINTERVAL=1800 bundle exec ruby -Ilib bin/selbot2.rb For use with youtube one needs to create an API Key and set that as "youtube.conf" environment variable.
