please see config-sample.json.

by default the webhooks will listen on localhost:3000, but you can change it by setting

"webhook": {
  "host": "0.0.0.0",
  "port": 3005
  }

in the config file

running the bot

usage: notflixbot [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-d] subcmd ...

positional arguments:
  subcmd
    start               start matrix bot
    restore_login       start new matrix session
    webhook             start webhook http server
    nio                 low-level stuff, helpful for dev

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        path to config file (default: /etc/config.json)
  -d, --debug           print debug output (default: False)

start the bot

simplest way to start the bot, will use the default configfile /etc/notflixbot.json:

$ notflixbot start
notflixbot 0.1.2
matrix bot running as @notflixbot:example.com
matrix client syncing forever
polling zmq socket
webhook listening on http://127.0.0.1:3033

you can use the -c flag to specify a path to a different config file:

notflixbot -c /path/to/a/different/config.json

docker

you can also use docker (build from Dockerfile or use pre-built image):

mkdir ${PWD}/data
docker run --name notflixbot --rm -v ${PWD}/data:/data -v ${PWD}/config.json:/etc/config.json benediktkr/notflixbot:latest

make sure to configure credentials_path and storage_path to be somewhere persisent, for example in /data in this example.

logging in

your config has to set credentials_path to a path to a file that the bot can read and write, that will store the credentials (access token, device id and user id) for the bot.

log in and create the file with:

$ notflixbot restore_login -c config.json
Password:

you can also create the file if you have an access token and device_id handy:

{
  "user_id": "@notflixbot:exmaple.com",
  "device_id": "ABCDEF1234",
  "acces_token": "abc123
}

nio shorthand commands:

usage: notflixbot nio [-h] --forget-room FORGET_ROOM

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --forget-room FORGET_ROOM
                        canonical_alias or room_id
