nicolas-cage-bot

A Slack bot written in golang for all things Nicolas Cage.

The bot currently provides recommendations for movies starring Nicolas Cage available on Netflix. It uses the NetflixRoulette to achieve this.

The implementation uses the nlopes/slack go library to subscribe to the Slack rtm api for real time messaging.

Running the bot

Store your slack token in a file to avoid having it end up in your sh history:

$ vim ~/slacktoken
export SLACK_TOKEN=xoxb-<somevalue>
$ . ~/slacktoken

Then run it with Docker:

docker run -e SLACK_TOKEN=$SLACK_TOKEN snorremd/nicolas-cage-bot:latest

Or compile and run it yourself:

go build main.go
SLACK_TOKEN=$SLACK_TOKEN ./main

You can also use docker-compose:

version: "3"

services:
  cagebot:
    image: snorremd/nicolas-cage-bot:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      SLACK_TOKEN: "<yourtoken>"
