How to build

• Prerequisites
  • npm
  • serverless framework
  • Rust 1.41.0 or higher
  • Amazon AWS Account
  • A telegram bot account (can be created by talking to @BotFather)

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/kiwiyou/kiwiyou-bot.git

2. Configure your AWS Systems Manager to have the bot's token

• In the Parameter Store, You should have both /kiwiyou-bot/token/head and /kiwiyou-bot/token/body.
• Given the bot's token, for example, say 01234567890:ABCDEFGHIJKLMabcdefghijklm123456789:
  • /kiwiyou-bot/token/head should be 01234567890.
  • /kiwiyou-bot/token/body should be ABCDEFGHIJKLMabcdefghijklm123456789.

3. Edit serverless.yml to match with your bot's settings.

BOT_NAME: '@your_bot'

4. Deploy your bot:

serverless deploy

# Or, if you have the npm version:
npx serverless deploy

It will give you an endpoint URL like:

endpoints:
  POST - https://example123.execute-api.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/dev/<your-token-head>/<your-token-body>

5. Setup a webhook for your bot by visiting:

https://api.telegram.org/bot<your-bot-token>/setWebhook?url=<your-endpoint-url>

Done! You can enjoy your own bot.
