Random Slack Status Update

Docker container to automatically update Slack status.

Inspired by benpbolton/slack-autostatus/.

Container will do the following

• Run in a loop
• At random intervals send message + emoji payload to update Slack workspace status

Requirements

Create Slack Personal Token for workspace to auto-update

• https://api.slack.com/custom-integrations/legacy-tokens

Build

docker build -t steve-dave .

Run

Run container passing the SLACK_PERSONAL_TOKEN generated in the Requirements step. Run in background to continually update status at random intervals.

docker run -it -e "SLACK_PERSONAL_TOKEN=xoxp-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" steve-dave -d

or with docker-compose, create a .env file with SLACK_PERSONAL_TOKEN=xoxp-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and run,

docker-compose up -d
