The tldr pages client for Telegram Messenger.
This free/libre code is currently running at @tldr_pages_bot. Try it out and share it in your group chats!
This bot can be run with Docker or simply npm start. In both cases .env needs to be populated with the following environment variables:
NODE_ENV=production
BOT_TOKEN=<TELEGRAMBOTFATHERTOKEN>
BOT_USERNAME=<TELEGRAMBOTUSERNAME>
GITHUB_TOKEN=<GITHUBTOKEN>
REDIS_HOST=<REDISIP>
REDIS_PORT=<REDISPORT>
LOG_FILE=<LOGFILENAME>
Note that REDIS_HOST and REDIS_PORT are optional if you're using docker-compose to start the bot.
With the .env file done you're ready to launch your selfhosted tldr-telegram bot.
Use docker run -d fuerbringer/tldr-telegram to get up and running quickly. Alternatively you can clone this repository and execute docker-compose up -d for a more unified solution with both the bot and redis containerized.
