Summarize GitHub issues

Install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the development server:

FLASK_ENV=development FLASK_APP=thumbsup.server flask run

To run production server:

gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 thumbsup.server:app

To build the image:

docker build -t simiotics/thumbsup .

To run a container:

docker run -p 5000:5000 simiotics/thumbsup

Once you have a server set up, Thumbsup should be available at localhost:5000

Thumbsup uses the GitHub API to retrieve issue comments. If you do not provide a GitHub access token, Thumbsup is subject to the unauthenticated GitHub API rate limit of 60 calls per hour.

You can provide a GitHub access token by setting it as the value for the THUMBSUP_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable. This will bring your available rate limit to 5000 requests per hour (higher if you have a better GitHub plan).

You can also set a minimum rate limit threshold below which Thumbsup will fail all requests. To do this, set the THUMBSUP_RATE_LIMIT_BOUND to an integer value.

To pass these environment variables to Thumbsup through docker, assuming they are set in your shell:

docker run -p 5000:5000 \
    -e THUMBSUP_GITHUB_TOKEN="$THUMBSUP_GITHUB_TOKEN" \
    -e THUMBSUP_RATE_LIMIT_BOUND="$THUMBSUP_RATE_LIMIT_BOUND" \
    simiotics/thumbsup

See sample.env for an example of how to set these environment variables. To use it locally:

1. Run $ cp sample.env my.env

2. Update the values in my.env.

3. Source the file: $ . my.env.
