Maiara is a chatbots/assistants building app.

Requirements (only run apps)

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Requirements (development)

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Python 3
• Pipenv
• Node.js

Enable Docker API

From: https://success.docker.com/article/how-do-i-enable-the-remote-api-for-dockerd

Create a file at /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/startup_options.conf with the below contents:

# /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// -H tcp://127.0.0.1:2376

Reload the unit files:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Restart the docker daemon with new startup options:

$ sudo systemctl restart docker.service

Start application

Build images

$ chmod +x build-images.sh
$ ./build-images.sh

Start application with:

$ docker-compose up

Or with:

$ docker-compose up -d

to start in background mode.

Open http://localhost:3080 on your favourite browser.

Stop application with:

$ docker-compose down

Webhooks

Telegram and Facebook Messenger only accept HTTPS public endpoints. You can use tools like ngrok or serveo to create a tunnel from port 9999 to a public HTTPS domain.

ngrok

$ ngrok http 9999

serveo

$ ssh -R <myassistantname>:443:localhost:9999 serveo.net

AWS EC2 instance

OS: Linux

Minimum requirements (t2.small):

• 1 core
• 2 GB RAM
• 10-16 GB SSD/HDD

License

Each package and application has its own separate license.
Currently they all use the MIT license.

Future work

• Improve actual code
• Improve editor-web-app visual design (for touch devices and all screen sizes)
• Unit testing
• E2E testing
