Minecraft Bots Environment + Deployer

• Simple deployment mechanism for the "minecraft-bots" project
• Consists of a web server which performs a few tasks such as pulling the repo + running npm install + starting unitialised bots in screen sessions
• To be used in conjunction with Github webhooks and the "minecraft-bots" project

Workflow

• Set up a Github webhook on a fork of the "minecraft-bots" repository
• Point it towards this server (by default it runs on port 5000) and set it to only act on PUSH events
• Be sure to clone the minecraft-bots project in a sibling directory (minecraft-env and minecraft-bots should be side by side)
• Every time you push/merge into the "master" branch on minecraft-bots, it will trigger this script which pulls the latest code and stats bots.

Installation

• Requires Python 2.7+
• Install pip (apt-get install python-pip)
• Install flask + requirements (pip install -r requirements.txt)
• Run in a screen, e.g. screen -X -S minecraft-env quit && screen -S minecraft-env -d -m python ./app.py

Usage

• Post to localhost:5000 (with a Github Webhook payload)
• To test if the server is running, perform a curl request (e.g. curl -X GET http://localhost:5000)
