sudo make updateThe Makefile creates backups when overriding files. If you wish to change
that, you can set the BACKUP variable.
See the documentation of install for further details.
sudo make update BACKUP=noneTo send notifications via Telegram you need a bot token and your
personal chat_id. To create both, please see the documentation of the
BotFather.
Once obtained, both secrets need to be configured in
/usr/local/etc/telejournal/telegram.env.
To send notifications with --user units, you need to add the above bot secrets
(or a new pair) to ~/.config/telejournal/telegram.env.
