Rubus

A Telegram bot intended for personal use by me and my friends.

Usage

Running the release version:

• Copy the docker-compose-release.yml as docker-compose.yml locally
• Create the API_TOKEN file and put your Telegram bot token to the file
• Run docker-compose up -d to start the project as a daemon

Goals

This project is mainly for me to have fun & learn new techniques while programming at home after work. However, the bot is also meant to be used in "production" in a private Telegram chat.

Functionality

At least the following functionality are on the implementation list:

• Channel specific sticker sets
  • It's quite inconvenient to manually add and update sticker sets created by photos shared in the chat. Therefore, Rubus should be able to semi-automatically handle this.
• Daily weather reporting at scheduled times
  • Simply tell what the weather is going to be for the day.
  • Needs to support multiple locations.
• Query trending posts from Reddit
  • Post X amount of trending posts from a subreddit for discussion.
• Calendar with reminders for important events regarding the group
  • Periodic and/or one-shot reminders of important events
• Fok_It comic strip posting
  • It would be quite fun to have the bot automatically post whenever a new Fok_It is released
