## Help Wanted!

This project is not being actively maintained. If you are interested and willing to help with maintenance, please respond here: https://github.com/spajus/hubot-control/issues/16

## Installation

- Run DB migrations with `rake db:migrate`
- Change `config.action_mailer.default_url_options` in `config/environments/*` (optional)
- Run it like a regular Rails 4 app. Try it out with `rails s`, run daemonized with `unicorn_rails -p -D`.
- Owner of rails app process must have write permissions to `#{Rails.root}/hubots` and `#{Rails.root}/scripts`, or just `#{Rails.root}`
- Use `[email protected]` / `hubot` to log in

## Running on Heroku

```
git clone [email protected]:spajus/hubot-control.git && cd hubot-control
heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/rtgibbons/heroku-buildpack-ruby-nodejs.git
git push heroku master
heroku config:add PATH=/app/node_modules/.bin:/app/bin:/app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
heroku run rake db:migrate
heroku open
```

Heroku support is still experimental, but you can find some [helpful tips here](https://github.com/spajus/hubot-control/pull/2).

Heroku demo: http://hubot-control-demo.herokuapp.com/ (usually broken due to periodic file system wipeouts, see [issues/4](https://github.com/spajus/hubot-control/issues/4))

## Running with Docker

Prerequisites:

* [Docker](https://docker.com)

Start a Postgres instance

docker run --name hubot-control-db -d -e DB_USER="docker" -e DB="hubot_control" -e PASS="docker" hackedu/postgresql

Create a data-only container to store Hubots

docker run --name hubot-control-data -v /usr/src/hubot-control/hubots busybox

Run database migrations

docker run --rm --link hubot-control-db:db -e RAILS_DB_USERNAME="docker" -e RAILS_DB_PASSWORD="docker" hackedu/hubot-control bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

Start Hubot Control

docker run --name hubot-control -d --link hubot-control-db:db --volumes-from hubot-control-data -e RAILS_DB_USERNAME="docker" -e RAILS_DB_PASSWORD="docker" -p 3000:3000 hackedu/hubot-control

Hubot Control will now be running on port 3000 of your system. Whenever you
create a hubot , you'll want to restart Hubot Control and publish their HTTP
ports (`-p` flag).

There's a few things to notice:

* The Postgres database is in a separate container than Hubot Control. When
Hubot Control is stopped or removed, the database will be persisted in the
Postgres container. You may want to map the Postgres data to a volume on your
host. The Postgres image's documentation has more details on this
(https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/paintedfox/postgresql/).
* The files for created hubots are stored in the `hubot-control-data`
container. Do not delete this container unless you want to delete all of your
hubots.
* All of the application data for Hubot Control is stored in separate
containers, so we don't lose any data if we delete the `hubot-control`
container.
