flummbot simple irc-bot

Simple IRC-bot I wrote in golang for my irc-channel.

Current features

• Authenticate to services
• Join channels
• Listen to the command !tell <person> <message>
• Deliver <message> to <person> the next time <person> joins or say something
• Save quotes with the command !quote <message>
• Tell random quote with the command =!quote=

Configure the bot

Copy the sample config flummbot.sample.toml to flummbot.toml and look through the following sections.

Sending SIGUSR1 to a running process will reload the configuration file, this can be used to change certain settings without restarting the process.

The types of settings that works are settings that aren't related to:

• Connections, joining channels, etc
• Enable/Disable modules

But it does work for changing things like, which command is used for certain modules, separators used for corrections etc.

Connection

Change the values of channel, nick, server, tls and message. You can also specify nickservidentify to set a message to send to NickServ on connect.

Database

file specifies file used for sqlite.

Tells

command specifies command used in the !tell module.

Quotes

command specifies command used in the !quote module.

Karmas

command specifies command used in the !karma module.

It also listenes words that ends with plusOperator and minusOperator (++ or -- as default) to change the karmas.

The karma module also allows to hardcode values for certain words, this makes it not print the karma for that word on change but it will still be able to report it. This is useful to hardcode values for words such as c++.

Corrections

separator specifies which character that should be used as separator in s/foo/bar-style corrections.

Building the bot

make build

Starting the bot

I've included a systemd-service file that I use to start my bot.
