Installation

There is no central bot so every community runs their own! While this is a bit more difficult it provides much better customization and control!

  1. First follow either the Installation with Docker instructions or the Manual installation instructions. For some bits the Docker documentation isn’t 100% and you’ll want to refer to the manal install for example for DB setup.

  2. Next, proceed to Configuration

  3. Finally, connect the bot to Telegram with the instructions below.

Telegram Setup

Since the bot is installed and run separately for every community, you also need your own API token. To obtain a new bot token from Telegram, start a chat with https://t.me/BotFather and create a bot token.

Set the following bot settings:
  • Enable Inline mode

  • Allow Groups

  • Group Privacy off

Installing the Webhook

To tie the bot installation to the Telegram bot API it needs to be submitted as a webhook. This is done by visiting the provided webhook.html form in a web browser.

Navigate to https://yourdomain.com/botdir/webhook.html and fill in the form. After submit success test your bot by sending it a /help command. If this does not work, see your web server error_log for details.

Available Languages

You can set several languages for the bot. Available languages are listed below. For more information see Configuration. You can submit translations to expand our list of lanuages! For more information, see Development.
