How it all works

There are two main components: the chatbot itself, which listens for user commands, and a VLC-based video server, which manages the currently-playing video. They can be run on separate computers.

The general flow of information looks like this:

Running tripbot locally

You can use docker-compose to run tripbot on your own machine. It is configured to spin up all of the dependencies for the project. A helper script (bin/devenv) has been created to make the process a little easier. For example:

# (optional) create alias for devenv script
alias devenv="$(pwd)/bin/devenv"

# spin up tripbot stack on current machine
devenv up --daemon
# see running containers
devenv ps

# see logs for a specific container
devenv logs tripbot

# shut down everything
devenv down
