## Customize bashbots environment
This section describe how you can customize bashbot to your needs by setting environment variables.
### Change file locations
In standard setup bashbot is self containing, this means you can place 'telegram-bot-bash' any location
and run it from there. 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
```
### 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<token> (default)
export BASHBOT_URL "" # use use Telegram https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>
export BASHBOT_URL "https://my.url.com/bot" # use your URL https://my.url.com/bot<token>
```
#### 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
```
