Overview

A simple Magic: the Gathering bot, implemented to be a Beep Boop hostable, Python-based Slack bot.

Assumptions

• You have already signed up with Beep Boop and have a local fork of this project.
• You have sufficient rights in your Slack team to configure a bot and generate/access a Slack API token.

Usage

Run locally

Install dependencies (virtualenv is recommended.)

pip install -r requirements.txt
export SLACK_TOKEN=<YOUR SLACK TOKEN>; python ./bot/app.py

Things are looking good if the console prints something like:

Connected <your bot name> to <your slack team> team at https://<your slack team>.slack.com.

If you want change the logging level, prepend export LOG_LEVEL=<your level>; to the python ./bot/app.py command.

Run locally in Docker

sudo docker build -t tradingpost-beepboop .
sudo docker run -d --restart=on-failure:10 -e "SLACK_TOKEN=<YOUR SLACK API TOKEN>" tradingpost-beepboop

Make sure all files are owned by root. For other restart policies, see Docker's documentation.

Run in BeepBoop

If you have linked your local repo with the Beep Boop service (check here), changes pushed to the remote master branch will automatically deploy.

Credits

I got the inspiration to make Tradingpost after seeing Filip Söderholm's cardfetcher bot in action, and I have re-used part of his code while making Tradingpost.

The BeepBoop bot design of this project is heavily inspired by BeepBoopHQ's Starter Python bot (MIT license).
