IRC bridge to site chatbox
Version 3
This app is built to join and listen on the selected IRC channel handling cross communications between the channel and site chatbox.
V3 - Breaks all the parts into modular scripts to help with debugging and future proofing. The main solution it provides is running a single bot listener but four gunicorn workers for multi-threaded handling of API calls through the use of a Redis publishing system. This allows for a much more active chat as the site grows.
Includes:
- User verification and validation
- Staff channel management
- Cross application communications
Depends:
- Redis server (This set up uses an alternate port and password set in redis.conf)
