RHCOS bot

This is a Slack bot to help with managing RHCOS backports and bootimage bumps. It is stateless (except for some replay protection on Slack messages) and command-driven, pulling all of its data from Jira.

Data model

See this document.

Installing

A setup.cfg would be nice, but we don't have one right now.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/coreos/rhcosbot
cd rhcosbot
virtualenv env
env/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
env/bin/python rhcosbot.py

Alternatively, a container image is available.

You'll also need to set up a Slack app in your workspace and get an API token for it, and to get a Jira API key.

Slack scopes
