Development

Once you've cloned the repository, run pip install -r requirements-dev.txt to install the development packages.

This repository uses pre-commit. After installing development dependencies, run pre-commit install. Do not commit before installing pre-commit!

To run the tests, run pytest from the repository root.

Deployment

CHTC-Bot is currently deployed on the CHTC Kubernetes cluster.

There are also some files lying around from the now-deprecated Heroku deployment.

Updating Version

Every commit to the repository generates a SHA-tagged Docker image via the .github/workflows/docker-build.yml workflow. The Docker Hub repository is here. To deploy a new version of the bot, follow the instructions in the configuration repository to update the image version specified in the Kubernetes deployment configuration.

Expected Environment Variables

• CONFIG - The name of the configuration file in config/ to load.
• SLACK_BOT_TOKEN
• SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET
• RSS_SHARED_SECRET
• SCHEDULE_COMMAND_PASSWORD
• DATABASE_URL - Optional; database features will not be loaded if not present.

Some of these environment variables are secret, like the SLACK_BOT_TOKEN. Use the "sealed secrets" described in the configuration repository to store those secrets safely.
