This is the channel bot ("helpa") for #rubyonrails. It is used so people don't have to type things over and over again.
You can run the bot yourself with ruby bot.rb irc.freenode.net.
Configure your bot in config/summer.yml
First set the required config vars
heroku config:set RAILS_BOT_IRC_SERVER=irc.freenode.net
heroku config:set RAILS_BOT_IRC_PORT=6667
next run required database migrations
heroku run ruby migration.rb
next configure heroku to use a bot worker
heroku ps:scale bot=1
Database settings
The database settings in summer.yml will automatically be overwritten by heroku's DATABASE_URL environment variable so that its an effortless setup to use heroku postgres.
