Hubot is an open-source chatbot that can be easily customized to automate various tasks. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Hubot on FreeBSD latest.
First, we need to install Hubot using npm package manager. Run the following command in the terminal:
npm install -g yo generator-hubot
Once the installation is complete, we can create a new Hubot by running the following command:
mkdir hubot
cd hubot
yo hubot
The command will prompt you to enter some information about your Hubot, such as its name, description, and adapter. Choose your preferred adapter depending on your needs.
After the Hubot is created, we can run it by running the following command:
bin/hubot
Hubot should be up and running in the terminal, and we can test it by typing some commands like "hubot help" or "hubot ping".
By default, the Hubot runs in the terminal, which is not ideal for production environments. We can use a process manager like pm2 to run Hubot as a daemon.
First, we need to install pm2 using npm:
npm install -g pm2
Then, we can start Hubot as a daemon by running the following command:
pm2 start bin/hubot --name myhubot
Replace "myhubot" with your preferred name for the process.
We can configure Hubot by editing the external-scripts.json file in the root directory of the Hubot:
vim external-scripts.json
Add the scripts that you want Hubot to load, such as hubot-help or hubot-google-images.
Any changes made to Hubot's configuration or scripts require a restart. We can restart Hubot using pm2:
pm2 restart myhubot
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Hubot on FreeBSD latest.
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!
