Glados
What is Glados(hubot)
Hubot is a chatbot program written by Github.
Hubot dramatically improves and reduces employee efficiency.
While the program might be called "Hubot" I've named ours GLaDOS.
Who is Glados?
GLaDOS stands for
Genetic
Lifeform
and
Disk
Operating
System
What can we do with Glados?
We can make GLaDOS troll Adam anytime anyone says the word "van" or says a word that contains "van"
GLaDOS can be programmed to listen for commands, execute them and respond appropriately.
Builds
GLaDOS is currently configured to build the SE Platform.
Deploys
GLaDOS is also configured to deploy the SE platform
Command the Robot
This post pretty much says everything you need to know
BUT I'll cover the details
Coffee
Hubot scripts are written in Coffee, pretty simple.
Every script will start with this line:
module.exports = (robot) ->This line is how a plugin "starts"
Interaction
The next line describes what the robot should do:
respond - robot will respond when mentioned
robot.respond /(imitate\scojo)/i, (msg) -> robot.hear /van/i, (msg) ->Make the robot talk
The next line of your script is what the program actually does when the right word or incantation is spoken.
To make the robot respond, use msg.reply
msg.reply 'OMG GLITTER (allthethings)'Connect to the internet
Hubot has a built in "request" library on the msg object
msg.http('https://apiv2-ngrid.preprod.simpleenergy.com/v2/version/').get() (err, res, body) ->tryjson = JSON.parse(body)msg.send "Ngrid Preprod has the follow packages"msg.send "se-platform: #{ json.version }"catch errormsg.send "I couldn't find the version for you. So I burned the house down with lemons"
Fabric
Using Fabric we can make GLaDOS execute extremely complex tasks across multiple servers.
Using spawn and exec we can execute sub-processes.
Use spawn for long running tasks (ie a deploy) and use exec for short tasks
Spawn
When using spawn there will be events emitted and we can listen to and react to those events
Deploy Glados
GLaDOS is extremely easy to deploy
- ssh TS01
- cd /home/sedeploy/hipchatbot
- git pull (enter your github username and password)
- sudo supervisorctl restart glados-hipchatbot
