jenni

jenni is a python IRC bot. This project is closed. Please do not expect any bugs or features to be fixed. Try Sopel instead, https://sopel.chat/

Installation & Configuration

jenni requires python 2.7, jenni will not work with python 3.x.

  1. Run ./jenni - this creates a default config file
  2. Edit ~/.jenni/default.py
  3. Run ./jenni - this now runs jenni with your settings

Enjoy!

Optional Dependencies

From Pip:

  • feedparser - allows the optional rss.py and nws.py modules to work.
  • BeautifulSoup - allows better output from DuckDuckGo in search.py, image_me module and animate_me_module to work, and allow more in-depth results for .calc
  • yelpapi - allows you to use the food module

Google Developer API Key

The YouTube module requires that you have a Google Developer API key in order to function. This key can be obtained by:

  1. Go to the Google Developer Console at: https://console.developers.google.com/
  2. Create or select a project.
  3. In the sidebar on the left, expand APIs & auth. Next, click APIs. In the list of APIs, find and ensure that the YouTube Data API is enabled.
  4. In the sidebar on the left, select Credentials.
  5. Create a new Public API access key and choose Server Key. Copy the created API Key into the google_dev_apikey option in your config.

Best Practices

  • Don't use jenni, use Sopel, https://sopel.chat/
  • Give jenni '@' (ops) at your risk. This software is provided without warranty, without exception.
  • You can no longer run jenni as the root user (euid = 0).
    • This is a huge security risk, amplifying the impact of any potential vulnerability.
