Installation

Requirements

• Ruby 2.3+

• Configured redmine_telegram_common version 1.4.1 has problems with archive sync.

• You should have Telegram bot account

• Install Redis 2.8 or higher. Run Redis and add it to autorun.

• Install the redmine_sidekiq plugin

• You need to configure Sidekiq queues default and telegram. Config example - place it to redmine/config directory (Or copy from plugins/redmine_chat_telegram/extras/sidekiq.yml to config/sidekiq.yml).

• Standard install plugin:

cd {REDMINE_ROOT}
git clone https://github.com/southbridgeio/redmine_chat_telegram.git plugins/redmine_chat_telegram
bundle install RAILS_ENV=production
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

Note: each of our plugins requires separate bot. It won't work if you use the same bot for several plugins.

Upgrade from 2.1.0 to 2.2.0+

From 2.2.0 redmine_chat_telegram (as well as other Southbridge telegram plugins) is using bot from redmine_telegram_common. In order to perform migration to single bot you should run bundle exec rake telegram_common:migrate_to_single_bot. Bot token will be taken from one of installed Southbridge plugins in the following priority:

• redmine_chat_telegram
• redmine_intouch
• redmine_2fa

Also you should re-initialize bot on redmine_telegram_common settings page.

Upgrade to 2.0.0

Since version 2.0.0 this plugin uses redmine_telegram_common 0.1.0 version, where removed Telegram CLI dependency. Please, take a look on new requirements.
