All files - programm, config, data etc - will reside in 'telegram-bot-bash'. - -If you want to have other locations for config, data etc, define and export the following environment variables. -**Note: all specified directories and files must exist or running 'bashbot.sh' will fail.** - -##### BASHBOT_ETC -Location of the files ```commands.sh```, ```mycommands.sh```, ```token```, ```botadmin```, ```botacl``` ... -```bash - unset BASHBOT_ETC # keep in telegram-bot-bash (default) - export BASHBOT_ETC "" # keep in telegram-bot-bash - - export BASHBOT_ETC "/etc/bashbot" # unix like config location - - export BASHBOT_ETC "/etc/bashbot/bot1" # multibot configuration bot 1 - export BASHBOT_ETC "/etc/bashbot/bot2" # multibot configuration bot 2 -``` - - e.g. /etc/bashbot - -##### BASHBOT_VAR -Location of runtime data ```data-bot-bash```, ```count``` -```bash - unset BASHBOT_VAR # keep in telegram-bot-bash (default) - export BASHBOT_VAR "" # keep in telegram-bot-bash - - export BASHBOT_VAR "/var/spool/bashbot" # unix like config location - - export BASHBOT_VAR "/var/spool/bashbot/bot1" # multibot configuration bot 1 - export BASHBOT_VAR "/var/spool/bashbot/bot2" # multibot configuration bot 2 -``` - -##### BASHBOT_JSONSH -Full path to JSON.sh script, default: './JSON.sh/JSON.sh', must end with '/JSON.sh'. -```bash - unset BASHBOT_JSONSH # telegram-bot-bash/JSON.sh/JSON.sh (default) - export BASHBOT_JSONSH "" # telegram-bot-bash/JSON.sh/JSON.sh - - export BASHBOT_JSONSH "/usr/local/bin/JSON.sh" # installed in /usr/local/bin - -``` - -##### BASHBOT_HOME -Set bashbot home directory, where bashot will look for additional files. -If BASHBOT_ETC, BASHBOT_VAR or BASHBOT_JSONSH are set the have precedence over BASHBOT_HOME. - -This is also usefull if you want to force bashbot to always use full pathnames instead of relative ones. -```bash - unset BASHBOT_HOME # autodetection (default) - export BASHBOT_HOME "" # autodetection - - export BASHBOT_HOME "/usr/local/telegram-bot-bash" # unix like location - export BASHBOT_HOME "/usr/local/bin" # Note: you MUST set ETC, VAR and JSONSH to other locations to make this work! -``` - ----- - -#### Change config values - -##### BASHBOT_URL -Uses given URL instead of offical telegram API URL, useful if you have your own telegram server or for testing. - -```bash - unset BASHBOT_URL # use Telegram URL https://api.telegram.org/bot (default) - - export BASHBOT_URL "" # use use Telegram https://api.telegram.org/bot - - export BASHBOT_URL "https://my.url.com/bot" # use your URL https://my.url.com/bot - -``` - -##### BASHBOT_TOKEN - -##### BASHBOT_WGET -Bashbot uses ```curl``` to communicate with telegram server. if ```curl``` is not availible ```wget``` is used. -If 'BASHBOT_WGET' is set to any value (not undefined or not empty) wget is used even is curl is availible. -```bash - unset BASHBOT_WGET # use curl (default) - export BASHBOT_WGET "" # use curl - - export BASHBOT_WGET "yes" # use wget - export BASHBOT_WGET "no" # use wget! - -``` - -##### BASHBOT_SLEEP -Instead of polling permanently or with a fixed delay, bashbot offers a simple adaptive polling. -If messages are recieved bashbot polls with no dealy. If no messages are availible bashbot add 100ms delay -for every poll until the maximum of BASHBOT_SLEEP ms. -```bash - unset BASHBOT_SLEEP # 5000ms (default) - export BASHBOT_SLEEP "" # 5000ms - - export BASHBOT_SLEEP "1000" # 1s maximum sleep - export BASHBOT_SLEEP "10000" # 10s maximum sleep - export BASHBOT_SLEEP "1" # values < 1000 disables sleep (not recommended) - -``` - -#### Testet configs as of v.07 release -**Note: Environment variables are not stored, you must setup them before every call to bashbot.sh, e.g. from a script.** - -##### simple Unix like config, for one bot. bashbot is installed in '/usr/local/telegram-bot-bash' -```bash - # Note: all dirs and files must exist! - export BASHBOT_ETC "/etc/bashbot" - export BASHBOT_VAR "/var/spool/bashbot" - - /usr/local/telegram-bot-bash/bashbot.sh start -``` - -##### Unix like config for one bot. bashbot.sh is installed in '/usr/bin' -```bash - # Note: all dirs and files must exist! - export BASHBOT_ETC "/etc/bashbot" - export BASHBOT_VAR "/var/spool/bashbot" - export BASHBOT_JSONSH "/var/spool/bashbot" - - /usr/local/bin/bashbot.sh start -``` - -##### simple multibot config, everything is keept inside 'telegram-bot-bash' dir -```bash - # config for running Bot 1 - # Note: all dirs and files must exist! - export BASHBOT_ETC "./mybot1" - export BASHBOT_VAR "./mybot1" - - /usr/local/telegram-bot-bash/bashbot.sh start -``` - -```bash - # config for running Bot 2 - # Note: all dirs and files must exist! - export BASHBOT_ETC "./mybot2" - export BASHBOT_VAR "./mybot2" - - /usr/local/telegram-bot-bash/bashbot.sh start -``` - -#### [Prev Notes for Developers](7_develop.md) - -#### $$VERSION$$ v0.90-dev2-0-gec85636 -
