s(uper)-uzzbot (telegram-bot)

A Telegram Bot based on plugins using tg. Forked from uziins' uzzbot, which is forked from Yagop's.

# Tested on Debian 7, for other OSes check out https://github.com/yagop/telegram-bot/wiki/Installation
sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev libconfig-dev libssl-dev lua5.2 liblua5.2-dev libevent-dev make unzip git redis-server g++ libjansson-dev libpython-dev expat libexpat1-dev
# After installing the dependencies, install the bot
cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/LucentW/s-uzzbot.git
cd s-uzzbot
./launch.sh install
./launch.sh # Will ask you for a phone number & confirmation code or just your bot token.

There are two more scripts to launch the bot: launchd.sh will run tg-cli over gdb, launchf.sh will take care of restarting the bot in case it crashes, deleting tg-cli's state file to prevent reparsing buggy/broken messages.

To enable the API bot mode, before doing ./launch.sh install, run touch bot_mode.

Take in account that logging in with a bot token has some caveats: delmsg and mute do not work (API bots cannot delete messages), by reply commands such as #promote might misbehave, !join will not work (API bots can only be invited, they cannot join a group by themselves).

Enable more plugins

See the plugins list with !plugins command.

Enable a disabled plugin by !plugins enable [name].

Disable an enabled plugin by !plugins disable [name].

Those commands require a privileged user, privileged users are defined inside data/config.lua (generated by the bot), stop the bot and edit if necessary.

Run it as a daemon

If your Linux/Unix comes with upstart you can run the bot by this way

$ sed -i "s/yourusername/$(whoami)/g" etc/uzzbot.conf
$ sed -i "s_telegrambotpath_$(pwd)_g" etc/uzzbot.conf
$ sudo cp etc/uzzbot.conf /etc/init/
$ sudo start uzzbot # To start it
$ sudo stop uzzbot # To stop it
