Enter the page https://api.slack.com/bot-users, create your Slack app and Bot User.

From your workspace, go to /apps/manage/custom-integrations and add Bots app. There you can get your API Token and set the bot name.

Just build the image and run with the commands:

sudo docker build -t staticdev/k8s-python-slackbot:0.1.2 .
sudo docker run --name k8s-python-slackbot -d -e SLACK_BOT_NAME=k8s-python-slackbot -e SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=mybot-token staticdev/k8s-python-slackbot:0.1.2

1. Start a new cluster using your favorite VM (native docker recommended) and build:

# start minikube
minikube start --vm-driver=docker
# build inside minikube
eval $(minikube docker-env)
docker build -t staticdev/k8s-python-slackbot:0.1.2 -f Dockerfile .

2. Create a slackbot.properties file in .env folder with the following structure:

SLACK_BOT_NAME=k8s-python-slackbot
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=mybot-token

3. Deploy using the commands:

kubectl create secret generic slackbot-secrets --from-env-file=.env/slackbot.properties
kubectl create -f manifest.yaml
