chat bot hub build upon gRPC

How to build and run

#/ make
#/ docker-compose up -d

please reference "Build environment requirement" section below for more details.

What does it do

it will starts a web server and a grpc server, grpc server will receive chat-bot register message

web server can control and get info from grpc server by rpc call. in this way, we can provide a user interface to control the bots.

  +-------------+
  | web server  |
  +-------------+
       |  ^
       v  | rpc call (for s[web])
  +------------------------+
  | grpc server (chat hub) |
  +------------------------+
       |  ^
       v  | rpc call (for c[ChatBot])
  +-------------+

       | ^
       v | pcqq-protocol, padchat-protocol
  +-----------------+
  | tencent server  | ... (to control the real qq or wechat accounts)

Build environment requirement

Docker deamon

this project uses docker to complie/pack and run all the code, so you need docker deamon installed and running on your local machine.

GOPATH

if you have golang installed on your local machine, better to use go get

#/ go get github.com/hawkwithwind/chat-bot-hub

this project uses docker to complie and run all the code, so that if you don't have golang installed, you can still complie and run the project. but the makefile assumes $GOPATH directroy

#/ export GOPATH=~/golang_workspace
#/ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hawkwithwind
#/ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hawkwithwind
#/ git clone git@github.com/hawkwithwind/chat-bot-hub
#/ cd chat-bot-hub
#/ make

Internet access

docker image build, golang and nodejs build are all need internet access. makefile will make use of http_proxy and https_proxy environment and send those to docker container while compiling and packing golang and nodejs code.

for the same reason, the Dockerfiles docker/*/Dockerfile uses China mirrors for alpine and npm repositories. if you are in different location, feel free to comment out those lines, or change to other mirrors.
