Setup & Configuration

To run the same Telegram bot for youreself, you need to create a Telegram Account and then register an app as a Telegram Developer following this guide
After completing the previous tasks you will endup with an API_ID and API_HASH which are tied to your personal telegram account

Finally register a new Telegram Bot via the Bot Father, after which you will obtain the BOT_TOKEN

git clone https://github.com/AndrewDarnall/Universal-Converter-Bot.git
cd Universal-Converter-Bot

2. Populate the variables within the ./scripts/envs_setup.sh script with your personal API_ID, API_HASH and BOT_TOKEN values, and run the following script

bash ./scripts/envs_setup.sh "your_API_ID" "your_API_HASH" "your_BOT_TOKEN"

3. Build the docker container from the Dockerfile
