The "preface" comes closest; it says Hubot is used for running commands on multiple servers. Does that mean it's like Fabric or Puppet, but invokable from IRC?
- tombell 14y agoThis book is a work in progress, feel free to open an issue on the repo to suggest things you want to see added, and I'll add them!
- vindia 14y agoI was playing around with hubot and especially the redis-brain part of it. Would love to see a good write-up on how to use the brain. I see you're planning to write about it in Chapter 4, so I'd love it when you would add more info about it there!
- tombell 14y agoYup, I plan on writing a pretty detailed section in chapter 4 about the hubot brain. Redis is just the default backend for persisting the brain.
- StavrosK 14y agoHubot is an IRC/campfire bot designed to give some character to your team's channel. It has various commands for inserting photos in your chat, fetching stuff, and, indeed, running pre-configured commands. As I said on another comment (excuse the plug), http://instabot.stochastictechnologies.com http://instabot.stochastictechnologies.com is designed to be a hosted version of hubot.
