Jokebot - Rasa X Demo Bot

This is a Rasa X demo bot. You can try the bot out at http://gstephens.org/jokebot.

The chatbot is setup to run under the lighterweight local Rasa X install in a Docker container with docker-compose.

Update the version numbers in the .env file. You can find the version info in the tags for the Docker Hub Images.

RASA_X_VERSION=0.26.3
RASA_VERSION=1.8.2
RASA_SDK_VERSION=1.8.1

You can run your own copy of the bot using these steps:

git clone https://github.com/rgstephens/jokebot.git
cd jokebot
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose run rasa-x rasa train
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs rasa-x | grep password

Ports

The docker-compose.yml uses the default ports which can be over-ridden. This is partcularly useful if you want to run multiple chatbots on the same host.

• 5005 - Rasa port (point your client here)
• 5002 - Rasa X UI

Update Server

To update the server, update the version numbers in the .env and enter the following commands

sudo docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs rasa-x | grep password

Training

Local training using your local python environment (or conda/venv)

docker-compose run rasa-x rasa train

Testing

After training the model, run the command:

docker-compose run rasa-x rasa test nlu -u test/test_data.md --model models/$(ls models)
docker-compose run rasa-x rasa test core --stories test/test_stories.md

Rasa Interactive Shell

docker run -v $(pwd):/app rasa/rasa:${RASA_VERSION} run actions --actions actions.actions
docker-compose up app -d
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/app rasa/rasa:${RASA_VERSION} shell --debug

With Docker:

export RASA_X_VERSION=1.5.1-full
export RASA_MODEL_SERVER="https://localhost:5002"
docker run --it --rm --network=$(basename `pwd`)_default -v $(pwd):/app rasa/rasa:${RASA_X_VERSION} shell --model /app/models/$(ls models) --endpoints endpoints_local.yml
