Bashtbot webhook examples
webhooks
Bashbot default mode is to poll Telegram server for updates. Telegram offers the more efficiemt webhook method to deliver updates.
Instead of running bashbot with bashbot.sh start permanently you can use the webhook method described here (experimental)
Setup webhook
To get updates with webhooks you must inform Telegram about where to deliver updates, this will be done with set_webhook.
For security reasons bashbot adds you bottoken to the path.
Example:
bin/any_command.sh set_webhook "https://myserver.com/telegram"
will instruct Telegram to use the URL https://myserver.com/telegram/<your_bot_token>/ to deliver updates.
After you setup webhook to deliver updates it'sno more possible to poll updates with bashbot.sh start.
To stop delivering of updates with webhook run bin/any_command.sh delete_webhook
Important: Only https connections with a valid certificate chain are allowed as endpoint for webhook.
Using Apache with php enabled
If you have an Apache webserver with a valid SLL certificate chain and php running you can use it as webhook endpoint:
- setup bashbot to run as the same user as your web server (
bashbot.sh init) - create the directory
telegram/<your_bot_token>in webserver root - copy
index.phpinto new directory - edit
index.phpto point to your bashbot installation - setup webhook for your server (e.g.
bin/any_command.sh set_webhook "https://myserver.com/telegram)
