GitHub Status Bot

The @ghstsbot that powers the @GitHub_Status channel on Telegram.

CLi:

podman volume create ghstsbot
echo "📢📢📢
%s

Powered by https://git.io/ghstsbot" > /tmp/cdt.txt # optionally
podman create --name ghstsbot \
    -e TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11" \
    -e CHAT_ID="-1001234567890" \
    -e CHECK_INTERVAL=300 \
    -e CHAT_DESCRIPTION_TEMPLATE=$(cat /tmp/cdt.txt | base64 -w0)
    -v ghstsbot:/app/data \
    ghstsbot
podman start ghstsbot
podman logs -f ghstsbot

CHECK_INTERVAL defaults to be 300 if not set.

If CHAT_DESCRIPTION_TEMPLATE is not set, chat description updating will be disabled. Base64 encoding there is optional in case line break is not passed properly by shell. If present, %s should be included and will be replaced to generated content. Set it to a single %s (i.e. -e CHAT_DESCRIPTION_TEMPLATE="%s") to activate chat description updating without putting any additional text.
