As described in the parent task T343330, in WMCS we have been discussing use cases that would require running cookbooks from a laptop instead of running them from cumin/cloudcumin hosts.
One blocker is that Spicerack logs to SAL by connecting to logmsgbot (also called tcpircbot) running on alert1001.wikimedia.org.
- Is there a way to allow a laptop to connect to logmsgbot? Maybe with some kind of proxy?
- Would we need to have a separate bot running in WMCS?
- Could this separate bot be an instance of the same tcpircbot code, deployed with the same Puppet profile?
- Should we use wm-bot instead?
