feedbot

A simple Telegram bot to forward posts from RSS channels.

Configuration

1. Provide a configuration file named config.json in the bot's working directory (path override: --config):

{
    "general": {
        "owner_id": "1234567",
        "debug": false
    },
    "feeds": [
        {
            "url": "https://example.com/index.xml",
            "chat_id": "123123123",
            "post_format": "$title\n\n$url",
            "url_cache_size": 1000
        }
    ]
}

2. Set the TELOXIDE_TOKEN environment variable to your bot's Telegram API token.

3. Make sure that the cache subdirectory of the bot's working directory is writable, as the bot will use it to store the URL cache (path override: --cache).

4. Use something like Cron to schedule regular bot launches (see systemd for a sample systemd configuration).
