Where should custom hubot scripts go in a snap installation? #5771

Good point, we need to also look at this on Docker. @graywolf336 @rodrigok any ideas? |
|
@geekgonecrazy any idea on how to do on snaps? |
|
For snaps anywhere relative to the code execution is read only. So if we can't change the path in settings or via environment variable then they couldnt write new files. These changes would be helpful for Docker as well. |

Should we put it inside the |
|
At least from a user perspective the upload folder was my first thought. However, maybe to avoid that the common directory gets too messy, I would like to recommend something like this: |
|
Maybe it would be helpful to have a filestructur similar to the mounted snap folders, which could externd/overwrite files from the mounted folder? |
|
For docker one can add custom scripts with docker cp into the location inside the rocketchat container, but these get deleted with every update via |
|
ref: #7095 as soon as this is merged we can add a folder in snaps for this. |

Is there an update on this? I'm unclear how to do this on 0.57.3 I created a folder /var/snap/rocketchat-server/common/scripts and placed an "example.coffee" in there that should respond to "test" I think. If I put "example.script" in the scripts field, and then try "test" in a channel with the bot, or @thebot, nothing happens. If I @thebot help I get the basic help text. If I specify "Folder to load the scripts" as "scripts/" or "common/scripts/" or "/var/snap/rocketchat-server/common/scripts" then the logs complain about not being able to locate example.script. Where would /var/snap/rocketchat-server/common/scripts be mounted relative to the rocketchat-server snap? |

Hello, I'm running into the same issue where I am not able to add Hubot or GifReply name: rocketchat-server
|
|
I am having the same issue, I cannot get internal-hubot to load custom scripts, or scripts I have modified from the github repository. |
|
I'm running 0.58.2 and I think I already works since 0.58.0 or earlier. The snaps seem to have security first in mind so there are some restrictions. The directories available are listed here: https://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/confinement |

Thanks for replying. I'll try that out.
Go RocketChat

The snaps seem to have security first in mind so there are some
restrictions. The directories available are listed here:
https://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/confinement
So what I've done is to set: Folder to load the scripts:
/var/snap/rocketchat-server/hubot/
and put the modified scripts in there. That works for me. (no path given
for the scripts, ex: "countdown.coffee,gif-me.coffee,zen.coffee"
The logs (/admin/view-logs) show if a script cannot be loaded.
It seems the internal Hubot comes with some restrictions or drawbacks. The
chat pointed me to https://github.com/RocketChat/botswana-snap - which
also looks quite interesting.

Will close this because the referenced PR has been merged and any further updates to the internal hubot script loading can be tracked under #6640. |
Hey,
I installed rocket.chat 0.50.1 via snap on Ubuntu 16.04.1 TLS and enabled hubot. It is awesome! Now we would like to add custom hubot scripts to rocket.chat. However, in snap the directory
/snap/is mounted as readonly, so I can't just put new scripts in thehubot-scriptsfolder. I also tried to put scripts into/var/snap/rocketchat-server/commonbut this gave me of course the following error:So, my question is where should custom hubot script go in snap installation? Thanks in advance!
