jim-bot

Web interace which generates 10 sentences of random corporate gibberish.

Based on pocket-jim. Ported from C to Go.

Usage

Build and run container using Podman:

# clone git repo
git clone https://git.pablotron.org/jim-bot

# switch to cloned directory
cd jim-bot

# build container
podman build -t jim-bot:latest .

podman run -d -p 8080:8080 --restart=on-failure --name jim-bot jim-bot:latest
