jouncebot

jouncebot is a Python reminder bot for Wikimedia Deployments. It reads the deployments calendar and pokes them on IRC when their window opens.

It listens in these channels on irc.freenode.net:

Setup

It runs from Wikimedia Tool Labs under the "jouncebot" account. Bots are started and stopped using normal tool labs conventions.

Source code lives in gerrit.

$ ssh tools-login.wmflabs.org
$ become jouncebot

tools.jouncebot@tools-login:~$ cd jouncebot
tools.jouncebot@tools-login:~/jouncebot$ git pull

Find the running job ID using job jouncebot then:

$ qdel <job#>
$ jsub -once -continuous -mem 512m -l release=trusty -N jouncebot start_jouncebot.sh

jouncebot is configured using a YAML file located in the home directory:

jouncebot.yaml

. See also the default config in
