nuqql-mattermostd

nuqql-mattermostd is a network daemon that implements the nuqql interface and uses the Mattermost Public Server API to connect to Mattermost servers. It can be used as a backend for nuqql or as a standalone chat client daemon.

Quick Start

You can download and install nuqql-mattermostd with its dependencies to your GOPATH or GOBIN with the go tool:

$ go install github.com/hwipl/nuqql-mattermostd/cmd/nuqql-mattermostd

Make sure your GOPATH or GOBIN (e.g., ~/go/bin) is in your PATH.

After the installation, you can run nuqql-mattermostd by running the nuqql-mattermostd command:

$ nuqql-mattermostd

By default, it listens on TCP port 32000 on your local host. So, you can connect with, e.g., telnet to it with the following command:

$ telnet localhost 32000

In the telnet session you can:

• add Mattermost accounts with: account add mattermost <account> <password>.
  • Note: the format of <account> is <username>@<server>, e.g., dummy_user@yourserver.org:8065.
• retrieve the list of accounts and their numbers/IDs with account list.
• retrieve your buddy/channel list with account <id> buddies or account <id> chat list
• send a message to a channel with account <id> chat send <channel> <message>
• get a list of commands with help
