In this tutorial, we will go over the steps to install Hubot on a Fedora server.
Hubot is a chatbot framework that allows you to automate tasks, manage deployments, and interact with popular chat services like Slack, HipChat, and IRC.
To run Hubot, you'll need to have node.js and npm installed. Let's get started.
Before we get started, you'll need the following:
Node.js is a runtime environment for executing JavaScript code outside of a web browser. npm is a package manager for JavaScript.
To install Node.js and npm, run the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs npm
Verify that Node.js and npm are installed correctly using the following commands:
node -v
npm -v
You should see the version numbers displayed, indicating that both are installed correctly.
Now that we have node.js and npm installed, we can install Hubot.
Create a new directory for your Hubot instance:
mkdir hubot
cd hubot
Install the Hubot generator:
sudo npm install -g yo generator-hubot
Generate the Hubot project:
yo hubot
You will be prompted with a few questions. You can leave most of the options at their defaults, but make sure to choose a chat adapter that you want to use (e.g., Slack).
Once the generator completes, you should see a new directory named after your bot (e.g., myhubot).
To test your Hubot, run the following command:
./bin/hubot
You should see your Hubot start up and connect to your chat service. Try typing Botname help to see a list of available commands.
Press CTRL+C to stop Hubot.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Hubot on your Fedora server. Hubot can be extended with custom scripts or integration with other services. Refer to the Hubot documentation for more information.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
