Other things to check before running the bot:

First of all, take a look at your bot settings:

• Make sure privacy is disabled (more info can be found by heading to the official Bots FAQ page). Send /setprivacy to @BotFather to check the current status of this setting.

Before you do anything else, open config.py (in a text editor or nano) and make the following changes:

• Set token to the authentication token that you received from @BotFather.

• Insert your numerical Telegram ID into the sudos table. Other superadmins can be added too. It is important that you insert the numerical ID and NOT a string.

• Insert your admins numerical Telegram ID into the admins table. Other superadmins can be added too. It is important that you insert the numerical ID and NOT a string.

• Set your log_chat (the ID of the chat where the bot will send all the bad requests received from Telegram) and your errors_chat (the ID of the chat that will receive execution errors).

Before you start the bot, you have to start the Redis process.

# Start Redis

$ sudo service redis-server start

Starting the process

To start the bot, run ./launch.sh. To stop the bot, press Control CTRL+C twice.

You may also start the bot with python bot.py, however it will not restart automatically.

Some notes about the database

Everything is stored on Redis, and the fastest way to edit your database is via the Redis CLI.

You can find a backup of your Redis database in /etc/redis/dump.rdb. The name of this file and the frequency of saves are dependent on your redis configuration file.
