Python requirements are covered in requirements.txt, in addition a working Redis server is needed to enable API caching from the EVE Online API server. Redis is not essential to the operation of Dropbot but without caching you may get into hot water with CCP.

Setup

Dropbot is designed to run on Heroku, but can be ran locally using python dropbot\cli.py -c env

Docker

Dropbot can be run on Docker using the image robhaswell/docker:

docker run -ti -e DROPBOT_JID='user@server' -e DROPBOT_PASSWORD='password' -e DROPBOT_ROOMS='room@server' robhaswell/dropbot

Configuration

The configuration is passed by using environment variables.

DROPBOT_JID - JID of the bot account
DROPBOT_PASSWORD - Password of the account
DROPBOT_NICKNAME - MUC nickname (defaults to Dropbot)
DROPBOT_ROOMS - List of MUC rooms to join, seperated by commas
DROPBOT_REDIS_URL - 12 factor style URL of the Redis server to use (defaults to redis://localhost:6379/0)
DROPBOT_CMD_PREFIX - Prefix of MUC channel commands (defaults to !)
DROPBOT_KOS_URL - URL of the CVA KOS API service (defaults to http://kos.cva-eve.org/api/)
DROPBOT_KILL_CORPS - List of Corp IDs to track for kills
DROPBOT_KILLS_DISABLED - Disables the streaming of zKillboard kills to the channels (default to 0)
DROPBOT_OFFICE_API_KEYID - API KeyID to use for the nearest office finder.
