New Features

EJS Engine

Yay! I added EJS to the default application included in the image. This means that there's a sidecar application that runs with the bot and can be used to provide a user interface to the bot.

Dashboard

There's a default dashboard user interface. It's not the most awesome thing out there, but it's a start. You can modify it to fit your bot's needs.

Healthcheck

• Added a /healthcheck endpoint. This will probably be further improved as time goes on, but this is a start to give some dashboard availability to the running bot.

Steemconnect Session Support

There are new /login and /logout endpoints on the application allowing you to use steemconnect API and oauth to access your bot preferences/configuration.

Roadmap

What's next for the docker image?

1. Database integration/support this is a big deal because I want to automatically sync/tune database integration for bots. This way migration automatic and developers don't have to be DBA's. They can just go straight into developing.
2. Better Dashboard Integration right now, the dashboard is pretty hands on for developers. I would like to make the dashboard easier to build for your bot. Right now, you pretty much have to build it all.
3. Monitoring/statistics We're going to add monitoring and eventing so developers/managers can have insight into bot's health status without needing special tools.
