Bot for updating results in writing contests at Wikipedia, deployed at ukbot.toolforge.org.
Created by Dan Michael and maintained with ❤︎ by contributors
Clone code from github
git clone https://github.com/WikimediaNorge/UKBot.git
cd UKBot
Create a new Python3 virtualenv and activate it:
mkdir -p www/python/venv
python3 -m venv www/python/venv
. www/python/venv/bin/activate
Install dependencies:
pip install .
If installation fails on Mac, try
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/lib pip install .
Generate locales:
make all
Start a MariaDB instance with the necesseary database tables:
docker compose up -d
Create a configuration file:
cp .env.dist .env
and modify it if needed. The default database credentials should work with the MariaDB instance from Docker, but you may need to add Wikimedia credentials (Oauth 1.0a consumer-only credentials) if you want to actually run the bot locally.
Within the virtualenv you should now be able to run the bot. For testing purposes, you can create a sandbox contest page such as this one: https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruker:Danmichaelo/Sandkasse5 and test the bot with that page:
ukbot --page Bruker:Danmichaelo/Sandkasse5 --simulate config/config.no-mk.yml
or using the wrapper script:
JOB_NAME=no-mk JOB_ID=adhoc1 ./jobs/run.sh --page Bruker:Danmichaelo/Sandkasse5
To test the webinterface locally:
FLASK_UWSGI_DEBUG=true uwsgi --ini uwsgi.dev.ini --python-autoreload 1 --master --http :5000
To modify the code and test it locally, you'll need to install it as a pip package first, and then run it:
pip install .
ukbot --page Bruker:Danmichaelo/Sandkasse5 --simulate config/config.no-mk.yml
The bot is deployed at ToolForge under the "UKBot" account using Webservice and the Toolforge Jobs Framework.
