A mostly modular IRC bot written using the Twisted library.

While there should not be much in the bot that will not function under Windows, it has only been properly tested on Linux systems.

Please be aware that the default behaviour of the bot is to load all existing modules on startup. This can be changed in the config file.

HOW TO USE:

1. Create a config from hubbot.toml.example
2. Create a docker-compose.yml file from docker-compose.example.yml
3. Run the bot using docker-compose -Note the volume mounts for the data and logs folders.
4. ???
5. Profit?

MODULE SYSTEM:

The module system for the bot works like this:

• Modules are loaded by the ModuleHandler class, from the Modules directory.
• The directory is, for the moment, hardcoded. It also does not support subdirectories.
• The ModuleHandler considers anything inheriting from ModuleInterface to be a module
• Further info on how to write modules can be gleaned from the ModuleInterface and ModuleHandler classes

ERROR LOGGING:

By default, INFO level logging is done in the hubbot/logs folder, using the server name as the filename. These server logs are kept for 7 days on a rotatingFileHandler.

In addition, any errors and exceptions are logged in hubbot.log in the same directory. This filename can be changed with the optional app.py -l logFileName command line argument
