docker-steem-bot

Base docker image for building steem bots. The purpose is to

1. Allow easy installation/execution of bots
2. Simple development/deployment of bots
3. Established conventions for bot development
4. Provide sandbox environments for nodejs steembots to run in

This is a base image. New bot projects can be easily created using this base image.

Usage

It's intended that you would use this to create a new bot following the convention laid out by this Dockerfile

Implement App

Create a nodejs app in the app/ directory that can be executed via npm start. This is really up to you. Use the steem-bot-template as an example. Further examples will be provided in the future as well as guides on how to use.

SAO

SAO templating can be used to apply a project template.

~/s/g/r/steem-digest-example git:master ❯❯❯ sao r351574nc3/docker-steem-bot-template
warning Config file was not found, we simply copy it to dest folder!
success Done, let the hacking begin!
~/s/g/r/steem-digest-example git:master ❯❯❯ ls                                                                                                            ✱ ◼
Dockerfile        LICENSE           README.md         app               package-lock.json package.json

Create Dockerfile

To use this base create a Dockerfile with

FROM r351574nc3/steem-bot:latest

Build

You're done at this point. If you have a running application in app/, and you created a Dockerfile you can now build your bot!

Note you only have to do this once. It's not necessary each time you want to run your bot.

docker build -t your-rep/your-bot-name:latest .

~/s/g/r/docker-steem-bot-template git:master ❯❯❯ docker build -t r351574nc3/test-bot:latest .                                                             ⏎ ◼

Go

Now that the image is built, we can run it.

docker run --rm -d -e STEEM_NAME=<yourname> your-rpo/your-bot-name:latest

~/s/g/r/docker-steem-bot-template git:master ❯❯❯ docker run --rm -d -e STEEM_NAME=r351574nc3 r351574nc3/test-bot:latest                                               ⏎ ◼
153b79e399134804981b2a8ea94541549a36c4c33102f193f3aeaa08de9814a3

That's it. It's running in daemon mode. If you want to be sure that it's running:

docker ps

~/s/g/r/docker-steem-bot-template git:master ❯❯❯ docker ps                                                                                                  ◼
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                        COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES

will show the docker containers you have running.

Roadmap

This is a small start to get some bots off the ground. In the future, there will be more complex applications available.

docker-compose Support

Includes orchestration allowing to run dependencies with a bot like:

• CouchDB
• Redis
• Kafka
• Elasticsearch
• Kibana

Golang Image

For users that want to run golang with AWS lambda and also run golang as the bot.
