cachebot

cachebot

A Slack bot for CloudFlare.

Configuration

Configure cachebot using environment variables:

Usage

1. Start cachebot
2. /invite cachebot to a channel
3. Ask cachebot to clear your cache:

• clear cache
• clear cache for /some/uri

Authorised users / restricted channels

By default, cachebot will allow any user to clear the cache.

With a restricted channel set, access is restricted to a set of authorised users.

For example, if you have a channel with guest users in, you can limit use of cachebot to specific named users.

Example:

# Only 'foo' and 'bar' users can use cachebot in the 'support' channel.
# cachebot works as normal in all other channels.
AUTHORISED_USERS=foo,bar
RESTRICTED_CHANNELS=support

Elastic Beanstalk

If you deploy to Elastic Beanstalk, you'll need to add an EXPOSE line to the Dockerfile. Cachebot doesn't listen on any ports, but Elastic Beanstalk prevents deployments of apps without it.
