Docker images with Errbot

Quick start

docker run --rm -v $PWD/config.py:/app/config.py:ro mnazarenko/errbot:alpine

Build own images

The image can be customized during the build in a number of ways.

By default, only Errbot core components are installed. If you need, for example, slack integration, you can do something like this:

$ docker build -t my-errbot:slack-xmpp --build-arg ERRBOT_EXTRA_MODULES=slack -f alpine/Dockerfile

or several extras at a time:

$ docker build -t my-errbot:slack --build-arg ERRBOT_EXTRA_MODULES=slack,xmpp -f alpine/Dockerfile

You can do pretty the same with OS packages:

$ docker build -t my-errbot --build-arg ERRBOT_OS_EXTRA_PACKAGES='curl wget' -f alpine/Dockerfile

ERRBOT_EXTRA_MODULES and ERRBOT_OS_EXTRA_PACKAGES are passed "as is" so be note the difference - comma delimited vs space delimited.

Custom configuration

You can configure the Errbot using:

• custom config.py

  $ docker run -v $PWD/custom-config.py:/app/config.py:ro mnazarenko/errbot:alpine

• command line swtiches

  $ docker run mnazarenko/errbot:alpine --config /mount/custom.py --merge-backend '' ...

• environment variables (see detailed description below)

  $ docker run -e CONFIG_PROVIDER=env -e ERRBOT_CONFIG_BOT_LOG_FILE='None' -e ERRBOT_CONFIG_BOT_ADMINS='("admin@localhost",)'  mnazarenko/errbot:alpine

Environment variables

CONFIG_PROVIDER

Currently, only env provider is supported. If this variable is omitted, the default provider will be used

Available config providers:

• env - parses the environment variables which starts with fixed prefix ERRBOT_CONFIG_ and populates the module namespace with Errbot config variables. Example: ERRBOT_CONFIG_BOT_ADMINS='("admin@localhost",)' becomes BOT_ADMINS=("admin@localhost",), ERRBOT_CONFIG_BOT_LOG_FILE='None' becomes BOT_LOG_FILE=None and so on.

  NOTE: string -> value parsing is based on the ast.literal_eval

• default - simply copies the default config file if /app/config.py is missed.
