A modular Telegram Python bot running on python3 with a sqlalchemy database.

How to setup/deploy.

Steps to deploy on Heroku !!

Fill in all the details, Deploy!
Now go to https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/(app-name)/resources ( Replace (app-name) with your app name )
Turn on worker dyno (Don't worry It's free :D) & Webhook
Now send the bot /start, If it doesn't respond go to https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/(app-name)/settings and remove webhook and port.

Steps to self Host!!

Setting up the bot (Read this before trying to use!):

Please make sure to use python3.6, as I cannot guarantee everything will work as expected on older Python versions! This is because markdown parsing is done by iterating through a dict, which is ordered by default in 3.6.

Configuration

There are two possible ways of configuring your bot: a config.py file, or ENV variables.

The preferred version is to use a config.py file, as it makes it easier to see all your settings grouped together. This file should be placed in your LaylaRobot folder, alongside the __main__.py file. This is where your bot token will be loaded from, as well as your database URI (if you're using a database), and most of your other settings.

It is recommended to import sample_config and extend the Config class, as this will ensure your config contains all defaults set in the sample_config, hence making it easier to upgrade.

An example config.py file could be:

from LaylaRobot.sample_config import Config

class Development(Config):
    OWNER_ID = 254318997  # your telegram ID
    OWNER_USERNAME = "SonOfLars"  # your telegram username
    API_KEY = "your bot api key"  # your api key, as provided by the @botfather
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/database'  # sample db credentials
    MESSAGE_DUMP = '-1234567890' # some group chat that your bot is a member of
    USE_MESSAGE_DUMP = True
    SUDO_USERS = [18673980, 83489514]  # List of id's for users which have sudo access to the bot.
    LOAD = []
    NO_LOAD = ['translation']

If you can't have a config.py file (EG on Heroku), it is also possible to use environment variables. The following env variables are supported:

ENV: Setting this to ANYTHING will enable env variables
TOKEN: Your bot token, as a string.
OWNER_ID: An integer of consisting of your owner ID
OWNER_USERNAME: Your username
DATABASE_URL: Your database URL
MESSAGE_DUMP: optional: a chat where your replied saved messages are stored, to stop people deleting their old
LOAD: Space-separated list of modules you would like to load
NO_LOAD: Space-separated list of modules you would like NOT to load
WEBHOOK: Setting this to ANYTHING will enable webhooks when in env mode messages
URL: The URL your webhook should connect to (only needed for webhook mode)
SUDO_USERS: A space-separated list of user_ids which should be considered sudo users
SUPPORT_USERS: A space-separated list of user_ids which should be considered support users (can gban/ungban, nothing else)
WHITELIST_USERS: A space-separated list of user_ids which should be considered whitelisted - they can't be banned.
DONATION_LINK: Optional: link where you would like to receive donations.
CERT_PATH: Path to your webhook certificate
PORT: Port to use for your webhooks
DEL_CMDS: Whether to delete commands from users which don't have rights to use that command
STRICT_GBAN: Enforce gbans across new groups as well as old groups. When a gbanned user talks, he will be banned.
WORKERS: Number of threads to use. 8 is the recommended (and default) amount, but your experience may vary. Note that going crazy with more threads wont necessarily speed up your bot, given the large amount of sql data accesses, and the way python asynchronous calls work.
BAN_STICKER: Which sticker to use when banning people.
ALLOW_EXCL: Whether to allow using exclamation marks ! for commands as well as /.

Python dependencies

Install the necessary Python dependencies by moving to the project directory and running:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

This will install all the necessary python packages.

Database

If you wish to use a database-dependent module (eg: locks, notes, userinfo, users, filters, welcomes), you'll need to have a database installed on your system. I use Postgres, so I recommend using it for optimal compatibility.

In the case of Postgres, this is how you would set up a database on a Debian/ubuntu system. Other distributions may vary.

install postgresql:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install postgresql

change to the Postgres user:

sudo su - postgres

create a new database user (change YOUR_USER appropriately):

createuser -P -s -e YOUR_USER

This will be followed by you need to input your password.

create a new database table:

createdb -O YOUR_USER YOUR_DB_NAME

Change YOUR_USER and YOUR_DB_NAME appropriately.

finally:

psql YOUR_DB_NAME -h YOUR_HOST YOUR_USER

This will allow you to connect to your database via your terminal. By default, YOUR_HOST should be 0.0.0.0:5432.

You should now be able to build your database URI. This will be:

sqldbtype://username:pw@hostname:port/db_name

Replace sqldbtype with whichever DB you're using (eg Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, etc) repeat for your username, password, hostname (localhost?), port (5432?), and DB name.

Modules

Setting load order.

The module load order can be changed via the LOAD and NO_LOAD configuration settings. These should both represent lists.

If LOAD is an empty list, all modules in modules/ will be selected for loading by default.

If NO_LOAD is not present or is an empty list, all modules selected for loading will be loaded.

If a module is in both LOAD and NO_LOAD, the module will not be loaded - NO_LOAD takes priority.

Creating your own modules.

Creating a module has been simplified as much as possible - but do not hesitate to suggest further simplification.

All that is needed is that your .py file is in the modules folder.

To add commands, make sure to import the dispatcher via

from LaylaRobot import dispatcher.

You can then add commands using the usual

dispatcher.add_handler().

Assigning the __help__ variable to a string describing this modules' available commands will allow the bot to load it and add the documentation for your module to the /help command. Setting the __mod_name__ variable will also allow you to use a nicer, user-friendly name for a module.

The __migrate__() function is used for migrating chats - when a chat is upgraded to a supergroup, the ID changes, so it is necessary to migrate it in the DB.

The __stats__() function is for retrieving module statistics, eg number of users, number of chats. This is accessed through the /stats command, which is only available to the bot owner.

Starting the bot.

Once you've set up your database and your configuration is complete, simply run the bat file(if on windows) or run (Linux):

python3 -m LaylaRobot

You can use nssm to install the bot as service on windows and set it to restart on /gitpull Make sure to edit the start and restart bats to your needs. Note: the restart bat requires that User account control be disabled.
