WARNING: This is just an excuse to learn Rust, nothing fancy to see in this Repo!.
I didn't even complete the first 10 chapters of The Book.
If you somehow are still interested, you will get something like this, with the Telegram tracker printing in your terminal all the incoming messages:
- Get your Telegram API and Hash — which can be obtained at https://my.telegram.org.
Other than the crate declared at Cargo.toml, this crate needs tdjson 1.7.0 dylib in your path
for building and running your application.
-
Install the dependencies:
brew install gperf cmake openssl -
Add the libtdjson dynamic library to path (warning: it must be 1.7.0). You can compile it following the Tdlib build instructions
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/lib/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib cargo build --release
- Build with Docker
docker build -t telegram_tracker:0.1.6 .
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib ./target/release/telegram_tracker \
--phone <phone> \
--telegram-api-id <telegram-api-id>
--telegram-api-hash <telegram-api-hash>
--follow-channel-id 1312345502
