Every time when i started hubot, i have to do the following first before bin/hubot -a rocketchat
? Why is that?
export ROCKETCHAT_USER=bot
export ROCKETCHAT_PASSWORD=bot
export ROCKETCHAT_AUTH=password
Also I did install redis
and hubot-redis-brain
, and from the following info i got when i log in hubot, the adapter did connect to redis:
[Wed Oct 19 2016 02:44:24 GMT+0000 (UTC)] INFO hubot-redis-brain: Using default redis on localhost:6379
[Wed Oct 19 2016 02:44:24 GMT+0000 (UTC)] INFO hubot-redis-brain: Data for hubot brain retrieved from Redis

The lines before are environment variables. We use this to pass important information to the adapter so it knows how to connect to Rocket.Chat. Adding redis or redis brain doesn’t give the bot the ability to remember this.
So a common solution here would be to make use of a bash file. So create a file like
start_hubot
with contents like this:Then to make it executable run:
chmod +x start_hubot
So then when you want to run hubot you can just do:
./start_hubot
