telegram-bot-bash-docker

Dockerfile for https://github.com/topkecleon/telegram-bot-bash

Running telegram-bot-bash-docker for the first time

  1. Create a Bot using the Botfather
  2. Copy botconfig.jssh.sample to botconfig.jssh
    1. Update this file with the bottoken and botid provided by Botfather
    2. For good measure, add your Telegram ID as the botadmin
  3. Create a botacl (access control) file to give your Telegram user permissions to interact with the bot. Take a look at botacl.sample to get an understanding of the format of this file.

Creating your own telegram-bot-bash-docker

All the information that you need regarding customising your bot is available in the README files of the telegram-bot-bash repository.

Building the image

docker build --tag telegram-bot-bash:latest .

Testing your customisations

The easiest approach to testing your customisations is to copy the following files into files into your customised Telegram Bot Bash directory:

  1. botacl
  2. botconfig.jssh
  3. Dockerfile
  4. docker-compose.yml

You'll need to update docker-compose.yml to mount your directories. For example, if you have customisations in ./scripts:

  1. Add the following bindings

       - type: bind
     source: ./mycommands.sh
     target: /app/mycommands.sh
   - type: bind
     source: ./scripts
     target: /app/scripts

Run the container

docker-compose up -d

... and the fun begins!

Visit your bot in Telegram and start a chat with the /start command.

ENJOY!
