MegaHAL Server is a Rails server that allows users to chat with MegaHAL, a learning chatterbot.
You can chat with MegaHAL online right now!
This will install redis and flyctl, along with the various Ruby gems,
assuming you're running rvm or similar.
> brew bundle
> rvm use `cat .ruby-version`@`cat .ruby-gemset`
> bundle install
Running the ./bin/dev script will start the Rails server and will start the
./bin/megahal-server script as well, which should be enough to get things
up-and-running on your local machine.
I deploy to fly.io with a GitHub action which does the following:
> fly deploy --remote-only
You can run MegaHAL on the free tier, but there is some additional configuration
that needs to be done (for example, you will need to launch a redis instance
too, using the configuration in the redis directory, you will need to attach a
persistent storage volume, and you'll need to define the REDIS_URL and
MOUNT_PATH secrets too). Look at the fly.toml configuration files for
details.
