My first Nextcloud Talk chat bot

gas85 · April 27, 2020, 2:41pm

Hello all, I was so excited about new Nextcloud Talk chat bot feature, so I wrote my very first chat bot.

GAS85/nextcloud_scripts/blob/master/nextcloud-bot-links.sh

#!/bin/bash

# By Georgiy Sitnikov.
#
# AS-IS without any warranty
#
# To added to Nextcloud please execute:
# sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ talk:command:add links links "/usr/local/bin/nextcloud_links.sh {ARGUMENTS} {USER}" 2 3
# More info under https://nextcloud-talk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/commands/

list="/usr/local/bin/nextcloud-bot-links-list"

while test $# -gt 0; do
	case "$1" in
		--help)
			echo "/links - A Nextcloud Talk chat wrapper for important links"
			echo " "
			echo "Simple execution: /links"
			echo "Complex execution: /links wiki git"
			exit 0

Basically it is pretty simple, it will give you back anything that you specified in a nextcloud-links-list. You can register bot in your installation via command:

sudo -u www-data php /var/www/nextcloud/occ talk:command:add links links "/usr/local/bin/nextcloud_links.sh {ARGUMENTS} {ROOM} {USER}" 2 3

And then call it by /links or /links git
