A multipurpose Telegram bot run by the LibreLabUCM association. Services are provided by different plugins.
Currently, HALIX is in version 9002 but it's still under development and is not publicly available.
It's based on otouto.

##Support
Just use the github capabilities. We're working on a better support service directly built into the bot.
##Setup
Requires Lua, lua-socket and lua-sec. dkjson is provided. Written for Lua 5.2 but will probably run on 5.3.
You must have a Telegram bot and auth token from the BotFather to run this bot. telegram-cli is not required.
###Configuration
To begin, copy config.lua.default to config.lua and add the relevant information.
Most config.lua entries are self-explanatory.
Add your bot API key, and other API keys if desirable. The plugins which require API keys that are not provided are disabled by default. The provided Giphy key is the public test key, and is subject to rate limitaton.
The "fortune.lua" plugin requires the fortune program to be installed on the host computer.
"time_offset" is the time difference, in seconds, between your system clock. It is sometimes necessary for accurate output of the time plugin.
"admins" table includes the ID numbers, as integers, of any privileged users. These will have access to the admin plugin and any addition privileged commands.
"people" table is for the personality plugin:
["55994550"] = "topkecleon"
ID number must be a string. The second string is the nickname to be given to the identified user when a personality greeting is triggered.
To run:
lua bot.lua
##Thanks
Thanks to @topkecleon for developing this awesome bot.
Also, thanks to @yagop for starting telegram-bot, first codebase of HALIX 9000 (old) and of HALIX 9001 (still running).
Finally, thanks to the Telegram guys, for making all this magic possible.
