Supybot is an IRC bot, an application which can connect to a specific IRC channel and do stuff there. For example, with the
Bugzilla plugin, Supybot can report on the channel whenever a new bug is filed, or if somebody mentions "bug 1234" in the conversation, it will print details about bug 1234.
Install supybot
First, you have to install Supybot. If you are using Arch Linux,
get supybot from AUR, otherwise read the
INSTALL file.
Create a
supybot user on your system, or on a virtual machine where you want to run the bot.
groupadd --system supybot
useradd -m --system -g supybot supybot
Install the supybot Bugzilla plugin
If you want your bot to announce when new bugs are created, you need to set up an email account, register it on bugzilla and set it up so it gets mails when bugs for your project are created. For this go to Bugzilla -> Preferences -> Email Preferences and read the User Watching section!
Once you have the email account receiving emails from bugzilla,
setup getmail on your machine so it downloads the messages from the email account to /var/mail/supybot.
touch /var/mail/supybot
chown supybot.supybot /var/mail/supybot
chmod g+w /var/mail/supybot
chmod o-rwx /var/mail/supybot
chown supybot.supybot /var/mail/supybot
Set the getmail job to download the messages using POP and to delete them from the server after retrieving them.
[destination]
type = Mboxrd
path = /var/mail/supybot
[options]
verbose = 2
message_log = ~/.getmail/gmail.log
Now add yourself to the supybot group (so your getmail cronjob can write the bugzilla emails to /var/mail/supybot). For this to take effect the best option is to re-login!
usermod -a -G supybot YOUR_USERNAME
Add a crontab to your account (not supybot) to fetch the bugzilla mail every minute.
* * * * * getmail -d -q -r /path/to/your/getmail/config/file
Setup your bot
Next you have to create a config, and here it gets even more tricky. Unfortunately, most of the Supybot documentation is
gone because the supybot.com website is dead and only redirects to the sourceforge page of the project, where Supybot can be
downloaded. You have to create a config using
supybot-wizard:
mkdir /home/supybot/pitivi
cd /home/supybot/pitivi
# I suggest to act as an "advanced user" when the wizard asks you
# about what kind of user you are!
supybot-wizard
[...]
# Now see the conf file it created, feel free to rename it to bot.conf. ;)
ls -l *.conf
Copy the
Supybot Bugzilla plugin to your setup. Unfortunately the original repository is broken, but you can get it from my
Supybot Bugzilla repository.
cd /home/supybot/pitivi
mkdir plugins
cd plugins
bzr co bzr://bzr.everythingsolved.com/supybot/Bugzilla # Broken
git clone https://github.com/aleb/supybot-bugzilla.git Bugzilla
Copy the bugzilla section from this
sample config file to your
bot.conf file. Or copy it from the pitivibot's
bot.conf file below.

###
supybot.reply.mores.length: 0
###
# Determines how many mores will be sent instantly (i.e., without the

# first chunk.
#
# Default value: 1
###
supybot.reply.mores.instant: 1
###
# Determines whether the bot will send multi-message replies in a single

# message, using mores if necessary.
#
# Default value: True
###
supybot.reply.oneToOne: True
###
# Determines whether the bot will reply with an error message when it is
# addressed but not given a valid command. If this value is False, the

#
# Default value: True
###
supybot.reply.whenNotCommand: False
###
# Determines whether error messages that result from bugs in the bot

# generic error message.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.error.detailed: False
###
# Determines whether the bot will send error messages to users in
# private. You might want to do this in order to keep channel traffic to
# minimum. This can be used in combination with
# supybot.reply.error.withNotice.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.error.inPrivate: False
###
# Determines whether the bot will send error messages to users via
# NOTICE instead of PRIVMSG. You might want to do this so users can
# ignore NOTICEs from the bot and not have to see error messages; or you
# might want to use it in combination with supybot.reply.errorInPrivate
# so private errors don't open a query window in most IRC clients.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.error.withNotice: False
###
# Determines whether the bot will send an error message to users who
# attempt to call a command for which they do not have the necessary

# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.withNotice: False

# variable reply.withNoticeWhenPrivate.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.withNoticeWhenPrivate: False
###
# Determines whether the bot will always prefix the user's nick to its
# reply to that user's command.
#
# Default value: True
###
supybot.reply.withNickPrefix: False
###
# Determines whether the bot should attempt to reply to all messages
# even if they don't address it (either via its nick or a prefix
# character). If you set this to True, you almost certainly want to set
# supybot.reply.whenNotCommand to False.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.whenNotAddressed: False
###
# Determines whether the bot will allow you to send channel-related
# commands outside of that channel. Sometimes people find it confusing
# if a channel-related command (like Filter.outfilter) changes the
# behavior of the channel but was sent outside the channel itself.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.requireChannelCommandsToBeSentInChannel: False
###
# Supybot normally replies with the full help whenever a user misuses a
# command. If this value is set to True, the bot will only reply with
# the syntax of the command (the first line of the help) rather than the
# full help.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.showSimpleSyntax: False
###
# Determines what prefix characters the bot will reply to. A prefix
# character is a single character that the bot will use to determine
# what messages are addressed to it; when there are no prefix characters
# set, it just uses its nick. Each character in this string is
# interpreted individually; you can have multiple prefix chars
# simultaneously, and if any one of them is used as a prefix the bot
# will assume it is being addressed.
#
# Default value:
###
supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.chars:
###
# Determines what strings the bot will reply to when they are at the
# beginning of the message. Whereas prefix.chars can only be one
# character (although there can be many of them), this variable is a
# space-separated list of strings, so you can set something like '@@ ??'
# and the bot will reply when a message is prefixed by either @@ or ??.
#
# Default value:
###
supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.strings:
###
# Determines whether the bot will reply when people address it by its
# nick, rather than with a prefix character.
#
# Default value: True
###
supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nick: False
###
# Determines whether the bot will reply when people address it by its
# nick at the end of the message, rather than at the beginning.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nick.atEnd: False
###
# Determines what extra nicks the bot will always respond to when
# addressed by, even if its current nick is something else.
#
# Default value:
###
supybot.reply.whenAddressedBy.nicks:
###
# Determines whether the bot will unidentify someone when that person
# changes his or her nick. Setting this to True will cause the bot to
# track such changes. It defaults to False for a little greater
# security.
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.followIdentificationThroughNickChanges: False
###
# Determines whether the bot will always join a channel when it's
# invited. If this value is False, the bot will only join a channel if
# the user inviting it has the 'admin' capability (or if it's explicitly
# told to join the channel using the Admin.join command)
#
# Default value: False
###
supybot.alwaysJoinOnInvite: False
###
# Determines what message the bot replies with when a command succeeded.
# If this configuration variable is empty, no success message will be
# sent.
###
supybot.replies.success: The operation succeeded.
###
# Determines what error message the bot gives when it wants to be
# ambiguous.
###
supybot.replies.error: An error has occurred and has been logged. Please\
contact this bot's administrator for more\
information.
###
# Determines what message the bot replies with when someone tries to use
# a command that requires being identified or having a password and
# neither credential is correct.
###
supybot.replies.incorrectAuthentication: Your hostmask doesn't match or your\
password is wrong.
###
# Determines what error message the bot replies with when someone tries
# to accessing some information on a user the bot doesn't know about.
###
supybot.replies.noUser: I can't find %s in my user database. If you didn't\
give a user name, then I might not know what your\
user is, and you'll need to identify before this\
command might work.
###
# Determines what error message the bot replies with when someone tries
# to do something that requires them to be registered but they're not
# currently recognized.
###
supybot.replies.notRegistered: You must be registered to use this command.\
If you are already registered, you must\
either identify (using the identify command)\
or add a hostmask matching your current\
hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
###
# Determines what error message is given when the bot is telling someone
# they aren't cool enough to use the command they tried to use.
###
supybot.replies.noCapability: You don't have the %s capability. If you think\
that you should have this capability, be sure\
that you are identified before trying again.\
The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're\
identified.
###
# Determines what generic error message is given when the bot is telling
# someone that they aren't cool enough to use the command they tried to
# use, and the author of the code calling errorNoCapability didn't
# provide an explicit capability for whatever reason.
###
supybot.replies.genericNoCapability: You're missing some capability you\
need. This could be because you\
actually possess the anti-capability\
for the capability that's required of\
you, or because the channel provides\
that anti-capability by default, or\
because the global capabilities include\
that anti-capability. Or, it could be\
because the channel or\
supybot.capabilities.default is set to\
False, meaning that no commands are\
allowed unless explicitly in your\
capabilities. Either way, you can't do\
what you want to do.
###
# Determines what error messages the bot sends to people who try to do
# things in a channel that really should be done in private.
###
supybot.replies.requiresPrivacy: That operation cannot be done in a channel.
###
# Determines what message the bot sends when it thinks you've
# encountered a bug that the developers don't know about.
###
supybot.replies.possibleBug: This may be a bug. If you think it is, please\
file a bug report at .
###
# A floating point number of seconds to throttle snarfed URLs, in order

###
supybot.upkeepInterval: 3600
###
# Determines whether the bot will periodically flush data and
# configuration files to disk. Generally, the only time you'll want to
# set this to False is when you want to modify those configuration files
# by hand and don't want the bot to flush its current version over your
# modifications. Do note that if you change this to False inside the
# bot, your changes won't be flushed. To make this change permanent, you
# must edit the registry yourself.

supybot.commands.nested.maximum: 10
###
# Supybot allows you to specify what brackets are used for your nested
# commands. Valid sets of brackets include [], <>, and {} (). [] has
# strong historical motivation, as well as being the brackets that don't
# require shift. <> or () might be slightly superior because they cannot
# occur in a nick. If this string is empty, nested commands will not be
# allowed in this channel.
#
# Default value: []
###
supybot.commands.nested.brackets: []
###
# Supybot allows nested commands. Enabling this option will allow nested

Make it dance
Now start your bot from the command line. This way you can see the debug log messages, in case you need to figure out why it does not work.
sudo -u supybot supybot /home/supybot/pitivi/bot.conf
Finally, create /lib/systemd/system/supybot.service to have it started automatically.
[Unit]
Description=Pitivi IRC bot
[Service]
User=supybot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/supybot /home/supybot/pitivi/bot.conf
UMask=0007
Restart=on-abort
StartLimitInterval=5m
StartLimitBurst=1
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Remember to start it and enable it to start automatically.
systemctl start supybot
systemctl enable supybot
Alternatively, create a file in
/etc/init/ so Supybot is started automatically when the system starts. I probably copied the file below from somewhere, but I don't remember from where.
# This IRC bot serves #pitivi.
description "Pitivi IRC bot"
# I got this from mysql.conf, you might want to have a look
# at other files in /etc/init/ and copy a section which
# looks appropriate. Basically it should start the daemon
# after the network is started.
start on (net-device-up
and local-filesystems
and runlevel [2345])
stop on runlevel [016]
# Restart if it dies unexpectedly. Should not happen.
respawn
# Make sure the binary exists.
# It's recommended you install supybot from the current git
# HEAD, because no features are being worked on, and it
# should be stable: http://sf.net/projects/supybot/develop
# In this case, the binary is in /usr/local/bin/supybot.
# This may differ if you are using, the package included in
# your Linux distribution, for example.
pre-start script
test -x /usr/local/bin/supybot || { stop; exit 0; }
end script
# Output to the console whatever it outputs.
console output
# Run the bot with the specified config file.
#
# The bot does not need to run as a daemon, unless
# there are other jobs depending on its sucessful start,
# for example. If there are, you should add "expect fork",
# and specify --daemon to the command line, and hope that
# it works, because:
# "One needs to be very careful with the expect stanza
# to avoid confusing Upstart: the program must fork in
# precisely the expected way." ion
#
# To create the supybot system user and system group, and
# add yourself to the group so you can easily edit files
# run:
# addgroup --system supybot
# adduser --system --ingroup supybot supybot
exec sudo -u supybot /usr/local/bin/supybot /home/supybot/pitivi/bot.conf
Congratulations! Send me an email and tell me how happy you are that you have your bot. ;)
