Firebase storage plugin for errbot

About

Errbot is a python chatbot, this storage plugin allows you to use it with Google Firebase as a persistent storage.

Installation

1. Go to Google Firebase and create an account, developers account are free.
2. First you need to clone this repository somewhere, for example:

mkdir /home/gbin/err-storage
cd /home/gbin/err-storage
git clone https://github.com/errbotio/err-storage-firebase

3. Then you need to add this section to your config.py, following the previous example:

BOT_EXTRA_STORAGE_PLUGINS_DIR='/home/gbin/err-storage'
STORAGE = 'Firebase'
STORAGE_CONFIG = {
   'data_url': 'https://radiant-bear-6933.firebaseio.com/',
   'secret': '6F51OL7rAOBCcq2sU36cAHh0z01Vneq29LpQkx58',
   'email': 'gbin@gootz.net'}

You can find your secret from your project page (which is the same as the data_url) and click on the bottom left on "secrets". You can either use the one there or create a new one.

Start your bot in text mode: errbot -T to give it a shot.

If you want to migrate from the local storage to firebase, you should be able to backup your data (with STORAGE commented) then restore it back with STORAGE uncommented.
