goxxx

IRC bot written in Go.

Install

Once you have a working installation of Go (Go version >= 1.5), you just need to run:

$ go get github.com/vaz-ar/goxxx

Build

Under $GOPATH/src/github.com/vaz-ar/goxxx, run:

$ make

Usage

Minimal command to start goxxx is the following:

$ goxxx -channel "#my_channel" -config config.ini

Where config.ini is a configuration file (see sample_config.ini to write your own file).

To get help about program usage, just run:

$ goxxx

Configuration file

• By default goxxx will search for a file named goxxx.ini in the directory where it is started.
• You can also specify a path for the configuration file via the -config flag.

Log file

• The log file will be created in the directory where goxxx is started, and will be named goxxx_logs.txt.

Troubles

If command fails silently, search in goxxx_logs.txt for similar lines:

2016/09/28 17:33:42 unable to open database file
2016/09/28 17:33:42 Error while applying migrations, exiting ...

You need to set correct permissions on ./storage/:

$ chmod u+rw storage
