Host Rasa chatbot in a server

[indranil180 (Indranil Ganguly)]

I have created a weatherbot in RASA for POC. I want to host that chatbot in a server. How can i do that ? Also now Endpointconfig is having localhost as url, how can i change the url and give the IP. I might sound noob but i need some help.

Maybe this can help?

Deploy local Slack bot

I hope someone can give me some advise. I created a bot that someone can chat with via Slack. However, at this moment the bot will only talk back when I run the bot on my laptop. So when I’m not there, the bot will not answer. Is there a way so I can have my bot online 24/7? I read something about Docker and Heroku, but I can’t figure out how this would work.

hello, i need some examples so that i can understand well. Can you provide any ?

You need to forward the port where your chatbot server is running to an externally visible endpoint. You can do this with ngnix. (Here is a good answer on how to get it configured.)
