# "Buddy", the Django API and Slack Bot

The 2018 implementation of the Buddy API used in a Slack chat with coworkers.
Written in Django. Added from USB archives on 2025-04-25.

Project was placed directly in the `/root/` folder of a container. The crontab
does not have specific instructions on how to start the server, there was likely
a service which handled that. My 2025 guess after not using Django for 6 years
would be that `bin/init_python.sh` and `bin/init_buddy_walk.sh` were run, or at
least that is what was used to test locally during development.

Tried getting it to run in order to provide more context in this README as to
how the project can be installed and operated, but not looking to set up Django
at this time, just going to use the repo as a reference when rewriting in a
different language.
