This is a Slack client for super-bot. It is built using Botkit version 0.7.0. It's not using the latest version of Botkit (v4 at the time of this writing) because it doesn't support the RTM API, and this is needed if you can't expose a public endpoint for Slack to push new messages. Currently, the Slack client only supports text messages. This client supports attachments of any kind (images, files, etc.) and will also work with message threads.
You can run this app in a docker container by using:
docker run gfaraj/super-bot-slack
You will need to specify a couple of environment variables so that the Slack client can successfully sign in as your bot user, and so that it knows where the super-bot service is located:
docker run --env SUPERBOT_URL=http://MY_MACHINE:3000/message --env BOT_TOKEN=yourslackbottoken --env USER_TOKEN=yourslackusertoken --env CLIENT_SIGNING_SECRET=yourclientsecret gfaraj/super-bot-discord
The SUPERBOT_URL variable defaults to "http://localhost:3000/message" if not set. You can also use the --env-file parameter if needed. The github repository also contains a couple of docker-compose files to aid in setting up a container for this app.
docker-compose up
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/gfaraj/super-bot-slack.git
and install its dependencies by running:
npm install
Make sure you have npm and Node 10 or newer installed.
You can run the Slack client with the following command:
npm run start
The client uses a JSON configuration file located in the ./config folder. See the config package documentation for more information. You will also need to provide environment variables called CLIENT_SIGNING_SECRET, BOT_TOKEN, and USER_TOKEN either through the command-line or by creating an .env file. See the included .env.example file.
