Kaga Robot

A modular telegram Python bot running on python3 with sqlalchemy database.

Originally a simple group management bot with multiple admin features, it has evolved, becoming extremely modular and simple to use. Note that this project uses a well-known Telegram-bot of its time @BanhammerMarie_bot from Paul Larson as its base.

Can be found on telegram as Kaga.

Starting the bot

Once you've set up your database and your configuration (see below) is complete, simply run:

python3 -m kaga

Setting up the bot Read this before trying to use

Please make sure to use python3.6 above, 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 together. This file should be placed in your UserindoBot 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.env file could be:

    API_KEY = "" # your bot Token from BotFather
    OWNER_ID = "1234567"  # If you dont know, run the bot and do /id in your private chat with it
    OWNER_USERNAME = "userbotindo" # your telegram username
    SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = "sqldbtype://username:pw@hostname:port/db_name"
    MONGO_DB_URI = "mongodb+srv://username:pwd@host.port.mongodb.net/db_name"
    MESSAGE_DUMP = "-100987654"  # needed to make sure 'save from' messages persist
    LOAD = "" # list of loaded modules (seperate with space)
    NO_LOAD = "afk android" # list of unloaded modules (seperate with space)
    STRICT_GBAN = True

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

MongoDB

MongoDB here is used to store users, chats, afk status, blacklist, global bans, data.

SQL

If you wish to use a database-dependent module (eg: locks, notes, 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 kaga 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.
