Write your own configuration file (Refer config.sample.js) is a good starting point for building your own. The details can refer Configure part in below.

Save this to a file in the root of the project then run your bot with:

node your-config

This will launch the bot in your terminal based on provided configuration.

Usage for Docker

This project also support docker. you can clone the project and configure it. BTW, your config file should be named config.js.

$ git clone https://github.com/fntsrlike/slack-irc-syncbot.git
$ cd slack-irc-syncbot
$ cp config.sample.js config.js
$ vim config.js
...

Then build image and run.

$ docker build --tag="slack-irc-syncbot" ./
...
$ docker run -d -P slack-irc-syncbot

If you don't want to rebuild images after editing config file, just use volume to sync config and restart container.

$ docker run -d -P -v $PWD/config.js:/app/config.js --name="slackbot" slack-irc-syncbot
$ vim config.js
...
$ docker restart slackbot

In addition, if your want to specify expose port, remember to use -p argument replace -P
