This Telegram bot allows you to subscribe to the daily Losung and query the Losung of a specific date. Please note that all texts except the documentation is in german.
You can add @die_losungen_bot on Telegram. The bot provides the following commands:
/abo: Subscribe/deabo: Unsubscribe/heute: Get the Losung for today/datum: Get the Losung for a specific date (The date format isDD.MM.YYYY)/hilfe: Print a help message
If you want to host this bot yourself you have to clone the repository and create a new virtual environment in the directory of the cloned repo.
git clone https://github.com/Popkornium18/telegram-losungen
cd telegram-losungen
python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install wheel
pip install -r requirements.txt
If you intend to use systemd for logging, you have to install the optional dependencies as well.
Make sure that you have the systemd header files installed.
On Debian/Ubuntu these headers are provided by libsystemd-dev.
pip install -r optional-requirements.txt
After that you can import all available Losungen from the official download page. Note that while the Losungen exist for literally multiple centuries, only the last ~2 years are distributed online.
python
from importer import initial_import
initial_import()
Next you have to copy the default configuration and add the API token of your bot. Available configuration options are documented in the example config file as comments.
cp config.py{.example,}
Now you can run the bot like this:
python bot.py
If you want to use a systemd service to autostart the bot at boot time (which is highly recommended), feel free to copy this template:
