Host irc logging bot

[dustin]

We have a donated irc log, as indicated in the channel topic, but we should probably host our own.

[sa2ajj]

We might want to look at ​https://lincolnloop.com/portfolio/botbotme/

[sa2ajj]

Tried to install it, unfortunately there's a unresolved dependency.

Contacted authors (as otherwise it looks really nice).

[sa2ajj]

The suggestion was to remove ad related tags (there was a slight mess up with the code).

The test version is available at [a strange url]: ​http://www-new.buildbot.net/

The next steps will be:

• prepare pgsql.int host (#3068)
• decide whether we need a common redis
• prepare a play to glue them together

[sa2ajj]

The URL is ​http://140.211.10.239/

[sa2ajj]

More things to fix/document:

• kudos mechanism
• GitHub URLs (maybe other) are screwed because of colour handling

[sa2ajj]

(The test version is not available any more.)

I think we can do this with supybot -- #3282

On the latest meeting we decided to try to switch to ​https://botbot.me/ if they will be able to import our old logs.

I will contact them regarding logs import.

Another open question is how to export history from irclogs.jackgrigg.com ? I wrote an e-mail to Jack Grigg about it.

[rutsky]

Jack Grigg (author and maintainer of irclogs.jackgrigg.com) replied that he would be happy to help with records export, and

The backend for my logger is SQL, so I could provide a dump from the main table of all log lines from your channel.

[sa2ajj]

So the next steps are:

• check what botbot.me accepts (if at all) for import
• prepare the data
• try it out
• declare the cut-date
• do the thing

@rustky, thank you for taking over it.

botbot.me guys haven't responded in a week on a letter sent to beep at botbot.me, I opened issue on the bug tracker: ​https://github.com/BotBotMe/botbot-bot/issues/44

No response yet on ​https://github.com/BotBotMe/botbot-bot/issues/44

[rutsky]

irclogs.jackgrigg.com is down for some time and we decided at the last meeting to start to user BotBot?.me immediately.

I filled application form at ​https://botbot.me/request/, but it said that request for #buildbot channel already in the processing queue.

Also Jack Grigg replied regarding irclogs.jackgrigg.com status that this is temporary issue and he will fix it later during this week.

Looks like @sa2ajj already asked in January 2015 about importing logs on BotBotMe bug tracker: ​https://github.com/BotBotMe/botbot-web/issues/121

[dustin]

Per discussion today, maybe switching to hosted botbot.me isn't a good idea -- they aren't very responsive!

We could consider hosting botbot locally, but that would be a much bigger investment of time.

Jack's site is still down :(

[rutsky]

BotBot.me guys still not responded (not direct e-mail, nor request for adding #buildbot channel).

irclogs.jackgrigg.com is up and logging.

I haven't found similar hosted solution to BotBot.me (modern, maintained, etc), and we don't have spare hands for maintaining our own instance of BotBot.me, so let's close this issue for now.
