A SLACK BOT TO MAKE YOU GO ALL CAPS

INVITE IT TO A CHANNEL AND SEE HOW IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO USE ANYTHING BUT UPPERCASE!

PREREQUISITES

REASONABLE RECENT VERSION OF GO. I USED GO MODULES.

SLACK TOKEN

USED THIS GUIDE TO OBTAIN A SLACK TOKEN AND GET THE "APP" INSTALLED.

GOLANG SLACK LIBRARY

HAD TO RUN THE FOLLOWING TO MAKE THE SLACK LIBRARY PLAY NICE (CURRENT VERSION PICKED UP BY GO CONTAINS THIS BUG):

go get github.com/nlopes/slack@d06c2a2b3249b44a9c5dee8485f5a87497beb9ea

RUN

SLACKTOKEN=YOURTOKENHERE go run main.go

AS A SYSTEMD SERVICE

SEE ALLCAPS.SERVICE SYSTEMD SERVICE DEFINITION.

TO INSTALL (TESTED ON UBUNTU 16.04):

1. adduser allcaps
2. COPY allcaps BINARY TO /home/allcaps
3. PLACE SYSTEMD SERVICE SCRIPT IN /lib/systemd/system/
4. sudo systemctl enable allcaps.service
5. sudo systemctl start allcaps
6. sudo journalctl -f -u allcaps

THE LAST COMMAND WILL SHOW IF THE SERVICE WAS STARTED.
