IBCP telegram bot for automation

This is a telegram bot to automate routine tasks of my collegues from Emanuel Institute of Biochemical Physics (IBCP RAS).

The bot is written using python-telegram-bot and Flask python webframework. It is structured for better developing experience and can be used as a template:

• .env file
• different Developmend and Production confs
• webhooks on Production, polling on Dev!

Deploy and development

1. git clone https://github.com/rguliev/ibcp-scripts-tg-bot.git
2. cd ibcp-scripts-tg-bot
3. mkdir tmp downloads processed_files - add required folders
4. pipenv install - install required packages
5. cp .env.example .env + vim .env - set your env
6. python manage.py db migrate + python manage.py db upgrade - migrate database
7. DEV: python app.py - this will start bot in polling mode
8. PROD: Open https://host/setwebhook in browser and make sure that webhook works
