Mockerell Telegram Bot

Uses https://github.com/zoomoid/pymocklib to run a telegram bot for sounding angry and butthurt on the internet.

Configuration

Telegram Bots require a token, which you can optain by contacting @Botfather. Afterwards, provide your bot token and optionally its name in ENV variables:

export MOCK_BOT_TOKEN=133769420:notaverysecurebottoken
export MOCK_BOT_NAME=mockerellbot

Running locally

This project uses pipenv, a better, more declarative way to interact with python venvs and packages. Get started with

pip install pipenv

Afterwards, you can run

pipenv install

on the source code to get all required dependencies.

Finally, run the bot with python -m src.

Deployment

If you wish to go into the (container) cloud, have a look at ./manifests. It will guide you through the steps of deploying to Kubernetes.

If you just wish to run it on Docker, run docker run -e MOCK_BOT_TOKEN=... ghcr.io/zoomoid/mockerell:latest.
