Wanon

Telegram quote bot.

Dev notes

DB Server

You need a sql database. One way to do this is using a docker container with postgresql and expose it to your host.

docker run --name wanondb -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d -p 5432:5432 postgres:alpine

This sets the password for the user postgres, it also creates a random volume for the database, so remember to clean it up. To open a psql you can use the same image:

docker run -it --rm --link wanondb:wanondb postgres:alpine psql -h wanondb -U postgres

Launching wanon

Environment variables to set:

• WANON_TELEGRAM_TOKEN Telegram token wanon uses to get and send updates. There are two bots created (and therefore two tokens): production and development.
  • In dev mode it will use dev.exs and get it from the environment
  • In production mode, the default config.exs uses ${...} so distillery will assign it from environment variables on start.
• ERLANG_COOKIE on distillery releases only, with or without container.

Debugging getUpdates

If you have setup WANON_TELEGRAM_TOKEN you can:

curl https://api.telegram.org/bot${WANON_TELEGRAM_TOKEN}/getUpdates | jq '.'

Travis CI

Two useful notes you can add in a commit message:

• [skip ci] To skip running travis.
• [skip deploy] To skip deploying this commit (This is something custom in .travis.yml).
