Quickstart Guide

Prerequisites

• Docker

Export environment variables

export TELEGRAM_BOT_API_TOKEN=secret
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=secret
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret
export INSTANCE_ID=secret

Build Docker image

docker build --tag jiobot:latest .

Create data volume

docker create volume jiobot-data

Run chatbot

docker run --mount source=jiobot-data,target=/app/data jiobot

NOTE: For first runs, be sure to add a --first-run flag at the end so the pickle files can be created. Terminate the instance (which uploads the first pickle file to AWS S3), remove the --first-run flag, and redeploy the instance again. You may also use this same process if you want to 'refresh' your pickle data.
