Telegram <-> IRC gateway.
- Uses the node-telegram-bot library for Telegram communication
- IRC communication via martynsmith's node-irc module
- All Telegram messages are sent to IRC channel
- IRC messages sent to Telegram only when bot is hilighted (configurable)
git clone https://github.com/FruitieX/teleirc
cd teleirc
npm install
cp teleirc_config.js.example ~/.teleirc_config.js
Next, set up your bot via the BotFather Telegram user.
Save your bot token in ~/.teleirc_config.js. Remember to allow the bot to see all messages via the
/setprivacy command to BotFather, otherwise only messages starting with a
slash are visible to teleirc.
Now read through the rest of ~/.teleirc_config.js and change the configuration as appropriate.
When you're done, launch teleirc with:
npm start
Optional:
- For your convenience, there is an included systemd unit file in
teleirc.service. - You can change your Telegram Bot's profile picture with the
/setuserpicBotFather command.
Thanks to warbaque for an implementation using Telegram Bot API!
