Prerequisite: An Apache webserver with a valid SLL certificate chain and php enabled.
Other webserver should work also but they are not testet.
Prerequisite: An Apache webserver with a valid SLL certificate chain and php enabled.\
This should work with other webservers also but it's not testet.
Prepare Apache to forward webhook to Bashbot:
Setup webhook with Apache:
- install bashbot as described in [Bashbot Installation](../../doc/0_install.md)
- create file `data-bot-bash/webhook-fifo-<botname>` (_\<botname\> as in `botconfig.jssh`_)
- run `sudo bashbot.sh init` to setup bashbot to run as same user as Apache (_e.g. www_)
- go to apache web root and create the directory `telegram/<your_bot_token>`
- change to the new directory and copy all files from `examples/webhook` to it
- edit file `BASHBOT_HOME` to contain Bashbot installation directory as first line
- execute `php index.php` as first test
- go to apache web root and create the directory `telegram/<your_bot_token>` (_<your_bot_token> as `botconfig.jssh`_)
- go into the new directory and copy all files from `examples/webhook` to it
- edit file `BASHBOT_HOME` to contain ithe Bashbot installation directory as first line (_other lines are ignored_)
- execute `php index.php` to test if script has write access to `data-bot-bash/webhook-fifo-<botname>
From now on every call to `https://<yourservername>/telegram/<your_bot_token>/` will execute
`index.php` and write received JSON to the file `data-bot-bash/webhook-fifo-<botname>`.
E.g. the URL `https://<yourservername>/telegram/<your_bot_token>/?json={"test":"me"}`
will append `{"test":"me"}` to the file `data-bot-bash/webhook-fifo-<botname>`.
Calling `https://<yourservername>/telegram/<your_bot_token>/` will execute `index.php`
thus append received data to the file `data-bot-bash/webhook-fifo-<botname>`.
E.g. `https://<yourservername>/telegram/<your_bot_token>/?json={"test":"me"}` will append `{"test":"me"}`.
Now your Server is ready to receive updates from Telegram.

To enable update processing delete the file `data-bot-bash/webhook-fifo-<botname>` after your webhook is working as described above.
Incoming Telegram updates are now forwarded to the script `bin/process_update.sh` for processing.
On every incoming Telegram update the script calls Bashbot once for processing the update. Even it seems overkill to load

Workaround for running new background jobs is to execute `./bashbot.sh resumeback` after starting a new background job.
