Kubebot

Kubebot is a Kubernetes chatbot for Slack.

This project is in active development and it's not ready for production yet.

Setup

To run Kubebot on Slack, first you need to create a new bot user integration on Slack and get the token.

Then you need to know the channel ids where you want to run the Kubebot. You can get them on https://slack.com/api/channels.list?token={REPLACE WITH YOUR TOKEN}

How to run it

Using Kubernetes charts
