SmokeDetector | Headless chatbot that detects spam | Chat library

To set up SmokeDetector, please use. Next, copy config.sample to a new file called config, and edit the values required. To run, use python3 nocrash.py (preferably in a daemon-able mode, like a screen session.) You can also use python3 ws.py, but then SmokeDetector will be shut down after 6 hours; when running from nocrash.py, it will be restarted. (This is to be sure that closed websockets, if any, are reopened.).
Running in a virtual environment is a good way to isolate dependency packages from your local system. To set up SmokeDetector in a virtual environment, you can use. Next, copy the config file and edit as said above. To run SmokeDetector in this virtual environment, use env/bin/python3 nocrash.py. [Note: On some systems (e.g. Mac's and Linux), some circumstances may require the --user option be removed from the last pip3 command line in the above instructions. However, the --user option is known to be necessary in other circumstances. Further testing is necessary to resolve the discrepancy.].
Running in a Docker container is an even better way to isolate dependency packages from your local system. To set up SmokeDetector in a Docker container, follow the steps below. I'll assume you have the basic ideas of Docker and Docker Compose. The first thing you need is a properly filled config file. You can start with the sample. Create a directory (name it whatever you like), place the config file and docker-compose.yml file. Run docker-compose up -d and your SmokeDetector instance is up. If you want additional control like memory and CPU constraint, you can edit docker-compose.yml and add the following keys to smokey. The example values are recommended values.
Grab the Dockerfile and build an image of SmokeDetector: DATE=$(date +%F) mkdir temp cd temp wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector/master/Dockerfile docker build -t smokey:$DATE .
Create a container from the image you just built docker create --name=mysmokedetector smokedetector:$DATE
Start the container. Don't worry, SmokeDetector won't run until it's ready, so you have the chance to edit the configuration file before SmokeDetector runs. Copy config.sample to a new file named config and edit the values required, then copy the file into the container with this command: docker cp config mysmokedetector:/home/smokey/SmokeDetector/config
If you would like to set up additional stuff (SSH, Git etc.), you can do so with a Bash shell in the container: docker exec -it mysmokedetector bash After you're ready, put a file named ready under /home/smokey: touch ~smokey/ready
