Read Telewater CLI usage to learn about the telewater CLI.

Install

Docker should be properly installed and running in your system.

$ docker pull aahnik/telewater

Run

Write all your environment variables in a file called .env and then use the docker run command to start the bot.

$ docker run -d --env-file .env aahnik/telewater

Note:

• the -d flag tells the docker command to run the container in detached mode.
• the --env-file option passes the file .env for its variables to be used inside the container.

Check

To see if your container is running,

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE               COMMAND       CREATED          STATUS          PORTS     NAMES
ae4d7d6651ca   aahnik/telewater    "telewater"   3 minutes ago    Up 3 minutes              zen_gates

The container id and name will be different in your machine.

To see the logs produced by the container,

$ docker logs zen_gates

Replace zen_gates with the name of the container in your machine.
