|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Uses JSON.sh [http://github.com/dominictarr/JSON.sh]/JSON.awk [https://github.com/step-/
|
|
JSON.awk] and the magic of sed.
|
|
Bashbot is written in bash. It depends on commands typically available in a Linux/Unix
|
|
Environment. For more information on commands provided by recent versions of coreutils
|
|
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GNU_Core_Utilities_commands], busybox [https://
|
|
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox#Commands] or toybox [https://landley.net/toybox/help.html],
|
|
see Developer Notes [doc/7_develop.md#common-commands].
|
|
Note for MacOS and BSD Users: Bashbot will not run without installing additional software
|
|
as it uses modern bash and (gnu) grep/sed features. See Install Bashbot [doc/
|
|
0_install.md].
|
|
Note for embedded systems: You need to install a "real" bash as the vanilla installation
|
|
of busybox or toybox is not sufficient. See Install Bashbot [doc/0_install.md].

Your very first bashbot in a nutshell
|
|
|
|
To install and run bashbot you need access to a Linux/Unix command line with bash, a
|
|
Telegram client [https://telegram.org] and a mobile phone with a Telegram account [https:/
|
|
/telegramguide.com/create-a-telegram-account/].
|
|
First you need to create a new Telegram Bot token [doc/1_firstbot.md] for your bot and
|
|
write it down.
|
|
Now open a Linux/Unix terminal with bash, create a new directory, change to it and install
|
|
telegram-bot-bash:
|
|
|
|
# create bot dir
|
|
mkdir mybot
|
|
cd mybot
|
|
|
|
# download latest release with wget or from https://github.com/topkecleon/telegram-bot-
|
|
bash/releases/latest
|
|
wget "https://github.com/$(wget -q "https://github.com/topkecleon/telegram-
|
|
bot-bash/releases/latest" -O - | egrep '/.*/download/.*/.*tar.gz' -o)"
|
|
|
|
# Extract the tar archive and go into bot dir
|
|
tar -xzf *.tar.gz
|
|
cd telegram-bot-bash
|
|
|
|
# initialize your bot
|
|
# Enter your bot token when asked, all other questions can be answered by hitting the
|
|
\<Return\> key.
|
|
./bashbot.sh init
|
|
|
|
# Now start your bot
|
|
./bashbot.sh start
|
|
|
|
Bottoken is valid ...
|
|
Bot Name: yourbotname_bot
|
|
Session Name: yourbotname_bot-startbot
|
|
Bot started successfully.
|
|
|
|
Now open the Telegram App on your mobile phone and start a chat with your bot (your bot's
|
|
username is shown after 'Bot Name:'):
|
|
|
|
/start
|
|
|
|
You are Botadmin
|
|
Available commands:
|
|
/start: _Start bot and get this message_.
|
|
/help: _Get this message_.
|
|
/info: _Get shorter info message about this bot_....
|
|
|
|
/info
|
|
|
|
This is bashbot, the Telegram bot written entirely in bash.
|
|
It features background tasks and interactive chats, and can serve as an interface for
|
|
CLI programs.
|
|
|
|
For more Information on how to install, customize and use your new bot, read the
|
|
Documentation [#Documentation].
|
|
|
|
Log files
|
|
|
|
Bashbot actions are logged to BASHBOT.log. Telegram send/receive errors are logged to
|
|
ERROR.log. Start bashbot in debug mode to see all messages sent to / received from
|
|
Telegram, as well as bash command error messages.
|
|
To enable debug mode, start bashbot with debug as third argument: bashbot start debug
|
|
|
|
|__ logs
|
|
| |__ BASHBOT.log # log what your bot is doing ...
|
|
| |__ ERROR.log # connection errors from / to Telegram API
|
|
| |
|
|
| |__ DEBUG.log # stdout/stderr of you bot (debug mode enabled)
|
|
| |__ MESSAGE.log # full text of all message send/received (debug mode enabled)
|

Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
Running a Telegram Bot means it is connected to the public and you never know what's send
|
|
to your Bot.
|
|
Bash scripts in general are not designed to be bulletproof, so consider this Bot as a
|
|
proof of concept. Bash programmers often struggle with 'quoting hell' and globbing, see
|
|
Implications of wrong quoting [https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/171346/security-
|
|
implications-of-forgetting-to-quote-a-variable-in-bash-posix-shells].
|
|
Whenever you are processing input from untrusted sources (messages, files, network) you
|
|
must be as careful as possible (e.g. set IFS appropriately, disable globbing with set -
|
|
f and quote everything). In addition remove unused scripts and examples from your Bot
|
|
(e.g. everything in example/) and disable/remove all unused bot commands.
|
|
It's important to escape or remove $ and ` in input from user, files or network (as
|
|
bashbot does). One of the powerful features of Unix shells is variable and command
|
|
substitution using ${var}, $(cmd) and `cmd` can lead to remote code execution (RCE) or
|
|
remote information disclosure (RID) bugs if unescaped $ or ` is included in untrusted
|
|
input (e.g. $$ or $(rm -rf /*)).
|
|
A powerful tool to improve your scripts is shellcheck. You can use it online [https://
|
|
www.shellcheck.net/] or install shellcheck locally [https://github.com/koalaman/
|
|
shellcheck#installing]. Shellcheck is used extensively in bashbot development to ensure a
|
|
high code quality (e.g. it's not allowed to push changes without passing all shellcheck
|
|
tests). In addition bashbot has a test suite [doc/7_develop.md] to check if important
|
|
functionality is working as expected.
|
|
|
|
Use printf whenever possible
|
|
|
|
If you're writing a script that accepts external input (e.g. from the user as arguments or
|
|
the file system), you shouldn't use echo to display it. Use printf whenever possible
|
|
[https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/6581].
|
|
|
|
Run your Bot as a restricted user
|
|
|
|
I recommend running your bot as a user with almost no access rights. All files your Bot
|
|
has write access to are in danger of being overwritten/deleted if your bot is hacked. For
|
|
the same reason every file your Bot can read is in danger of being disclosed. Restrict
|
|
your Bots access rights to the absolute minimum.
|
|
Never run your Bot as root, this is the most dangerous you can do! Usually the user
|
|
'nobody' has almost no rights on Linux/Unix systems. See Expert use [doc/4_expert.md] on
|
|
how to run your Bot as an other user.
|
|
|
|
Secure your Bot installation
|
|
|
|
Your Bot configuration must not be readable by other users. Everyone who can read your
|
|
Bots token is able to act as your Bot and has access to all chats the Bot is in!
|
|
Everyone with read access to your Bot files can extract your Bots data. Especially your
|
|
Bot config in config.jssh must be protected against other users. No one except you should
|
|
have write access to the Bot files. The Bot should be restricted to have write access to
|
|
count.jssh, data-bot-bash/ and logs/ only, all other files must be write protected.
|
|
To set access rights for your bashbot installation to a reasonable default run sudo ./
|
|
bashbot.sh init after every update or change to your installation directory.
|
|
Note: Keep old log files in a safe place or even better delete them, they are GDPR
|
|
relevant and may contain information [https://github.com/topkecleon/telegram-bot-bash/
|
|
issues/174] you don't want to be public.
|
|
|
|
FAQ
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is this Bot insecure?
|
|
|
|
Bashbot is not more (in)secure than a Bot written in another language. We have done our
|
|
best to make it as secure as possible. But YOU are responsible for the bot commands you
|
|
wrote and you should know about the risks ...
|
|
Note: Up to version 0.941 (mai/22/2020) telegram-bot-bash had a remote code execution bug,
|
|
please update if you use an older version!
|
|
|
|
Why Bash and not the much better xyz?
|
|
|
|
Well, that's a damn good question... maybe because I'm a Unix admin from the stone age.
|
|
Nevertheless there are more reasons from my side:
|
|
|
|
* bashbot will run wherever bash and (gnu) sed is available, from embedded Linux to
|
|
mainframe
|
|
* easy to integrate with other shell scripts, e.g. for sending system message / health
|
|
status
|
|
* no need to install or learn a new programming language, library or framework
|
|
* no database, not event driven, not object oriented ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Can I have the single bashbot.sh file back?
|
|
|
|
At the beginning bashbot was simply the file bashbot.sh that you could copy everywhere and
|
|
run the bot. Now we have 'commands.sh', 'mycommands.sh', 'modules/*.sh' and much more.
|
|
Hey no problem, if you are finished with your cool bot, run dev/make-standalone.sh to
|
|
create a stripped down version of your bot containing only 'bashbot.sh' and 'commands.sh'!
|
|
For more information see Create a stripped down version of your Bot [doc/7_develop.md].
|
|
|
|
Can I send messages from CLI and scripts?
|
|
|
|
Of course you can send messages from command line and scripts! Simply install bashbot as
|
|
described here [#Your-really-first-bashbot-in-a-nutshell], send the message '/start' to
|
|
set yourself as botadmin and then stop the bot with ./bashbot.sh stop.
|
|
Bashbot provides some ready to use scripts for sending messages from command line in bin/
|
|
dir, e.g. send_message.sh.
|
|
|
|
bin/send_message.sh BOTADMIN "This is my first message send from CLI"
|
|
|
|
bin/send_message.sh --help
|
|
|
|
You can also source bashbot for use in your scripts, for more information see Expert Use
|
|
[doc/4_expert.md].
|
|
|
|
Blocked by telegram?
|
|
|
|
This may happen if too many or wrong requests are sent to api.telegram.org, e.g. using a
|
|
invalid token or invalid API calls. If the block stay for longer time you can ask telegram
|
|
service to unblock your IP-Address.
|
|
You can check with curl or wget if you are blocked by Telegram:
|
|
|
|
curl -m 10 https://api.telegram.org/bot
|
|
#curl: (28) Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds
|
|
|
|
wget -t 1 -T 10 https://api.telegram.org/bot
|
|
#Connecting to api.telegram.org (api.telegram.org)|46.38.243.234|:443... failed:
|
|
Connection timed out.
|
|
|
|
nc -w 2 api.telegram.org 443 || echo "your IP seems blocked by telegram"
|
|
#your IP seems blocked by telegram
|
|
|
|
Bashbot offers the option to recover from broken connections (blocked). Therefore you can
|
|
provide a function named bashbotBlockRecover() in mycommands.sh, the function is called
|
|
every time when a broken connection is detected.
|
|
Possible actions are: Check if network is working, change IP-Address or simply wait some
|
|
time. See mycommnds.sh.dist for an example.
