WinDog

WinDog/WinDogBot is a chatbot I’ve been (lazily) developing for years, with some special characteristics:

  • multi-purpose: it’s created for doing a myriad of different things, from the funny to the useful (moderation features will be implemented in the future).
  • multi-platform: it’s an experiment in automagical multiplatform compatibility, with modules targeting a common abstracted API.
  • modular: in all of this, the bot is modular, and allows features to be easily activated or removed at will (like some other ones).

The officially-hosted instances of this bot are, respectively:

In case you want to run your own instance:

  1. git clone --depth 1 https://gitlab.com/octospacc/WinDog && cd ./WinDog to get the code.
  2. find -type f -name requirements.txt -exec python3 -m pip install -U -r {} \; to install the full package of dependencies.
  3. sh ./StartWinDog.sh to start the bot every time.
    • The first time it runs, it will generate a Config.py file, where you should edit essential fields (like user credentials), uncommenting them where needed, then delete the unmodified fields. Restart the program to load the updated configuration.
