translate_bot_kotlin

Just a little project where I try out Kotlin. Maybe I'm going to complete the bot maybe not. I'll see

Next steps:

• Automate deployment to docker on server (jenkins?)
• Write tests and setup github actions that run those tests automatically
• See if I can improve performance. GraalVM maybe?

Deploy with Docker:

1. Run gradle installDist to generate the necessary files. The result will be located in build/install/translate_bot_kotlin
2. Run docker build -t translate_bot_kotlin . to generate the docker container.
3. Now run the container. In the following command you have to insert the path where the settings.json should be saved. docker run -v <directory of settings file>:/data translate_bot_kotlin

Alternatively after Step 3 one can save the docker container to deploy it somewhere else, using docker save --output translate_bot_kotlin.tar translate_bot_kotlin

Creating native image:

Install GraalVM and install native image. Add to path using export PATH=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-java11-21.0.0.2/Contents/Home/bin:$PATH. Create jar by running gradle jarWithDependencies (Or just gradle jar until the other task is fixed). Then run native-image -jar build/libs/translate_bot_kotlin-1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -H:Name=translate_bot_kotlin. Not yet working, because of some coroutines stuff. Try out --target and see if it works somehow with Linux x86
