Telegram Meme Maker Bot
You may find this bot at https://t.me/mememakebot
How to run your own
Build the bot running make. You will need to run it as a fastcgi service:
spawn-fcgi -u unixuser -s /path/to/socket -n /path/to/bot /path/to/service.conf
The only argument is the config file, which should look like:
nthreads = 10;
tg-apikey = "your-telegram-api-key-from-botfather";
base_url = "https://yourserver.com/somepath";
logs = "/var/log/somelog";
imgflip_username = "imgflip-user";
imgflip_password = "imgflip-pass";
Your server should be forwarding all the requests via FastCGI to the right socket. You also need to provide the bot with the external URL (ideally https) so that images can be fetcher by the Telegram servers.
Memes are generated via api.imgflip.com, where templates are fetched too. Make sure your account works and you can log in.
You can tweak stuff like log directory (will generate daily logs but won't garbage collect anything, you'll need to use an external tool) or the number of threads.
