DailyAnimalsBot

Telegram bot that sends random cute pictures with cats and doggos.

User Usage

Everything is pretty simple – just press a button and then get a picture; or you are able to user commands /cat and /dog if the telegram keyboard is unavailable.

Do not forget to use the inline mode. It provides you a possibility to send a cat or a dog in any chat. Type the username of the bot and choose one of the pictures.

Admin Usage

There are some features for admins of the bot. Firt off all, you should enter /admin command. Then you can check statistics and restart the bot. One more great feature is the possibility to send a message to all the users.

Deployment

Configurate config.py:

Create a new Telegram Bot at t.me/BotFather and get the token of your bot, then put it as token variable. Then you can enter for admins some ids of users who can use the admins' commands. Fill your host (server's ip) and port (443, 80, 88 or 8443).

Generate quick'n'dirty SSL certificate (in terminal):

openssl genrsa -out webhook_pkey.pem 2048

openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key webhook_pkey.pem -out webhook_cert.pem

Attention! When asked for "Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)" you should reply with the same value as your server's ip addres.

Create virtual environment for Python and install all requiremetns (in terminal):

virtualenv venv --python=python3

source venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requiremetns.txt

Just enter python main.py in your terminal.
