Documentation
In order to address Igor, you must call it by the Slack bot name you used, followed by the command you wish to run.
Here is an example :
igor deploy -s my-stack-name
Here is a list of all the operations you can do with Igor:
Commands :
deploy: Deploy the specified stack - a stack is requiredcancel: Remove the stack from the deployment queue - a stack is requiredlist: List either all stacks, or a specific one
Flags :
--stack|-s: The exact name of the stack--environment|-e: The environment of the stack--services|-v: The name of a service in the stack--wait|-w: By default, if the stack is already deploying from Cloud 66, or Igor is waiting for a custom webhook URL, the deploy command will queue the stack for a later deploy. To avoid queuing, use-w false
Queue deployment
If you want igor to queue a deployment based on a custom webhook URL (for example, wait until the stack has no busy workers before deploying), you can use the igor-bot/config/config.yml file.
Help
If Igor cannot connect to Slack
If you can't see your bot connected among the members of your channel on Slack it means the container running Igor ChatOps failed to launch - likely due to an incorrect slack token. You will need to redeploy your stack and set a valid one.
If Igor cannot connect to the Cloud 66 API
If you have successfully connected Igor to Slack but it cannot access Cloud 66, you may have set an incorrect Cloud 66 token. You can try updating your Cloud 66 token on the registration page.
If you get an error during registration
One possible reason for this is that the container does not have access to write to the host - if so, you can try setting the correct folder permissions.
