Docker

The simplest way to get started with this project is to use its Docker image. These images are updated each time a commit is made to the project’s source code. Follow the detailed instructions for getting started with the Docker images.

Some knowledge of Slack or HipChat would be beneficial if you plan on using these services with the bot.

Slack will require the creation of a custom bot. As part of this process you will create a Slack token for the bot that you will need to provide when running the Docker image. This is explained in more detail on the Docker project.

HipChat will require providing many variables when running the Docker image. There’s more information on the Hubot HipChat project.
