# telegram-youtubedl

An implementation of a [Telegram](https://telegram.org/) bot that uses [youtube-dl](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl) to download videos from youtube.com and sends them as mp3.

## Usage (CLI)

1. Make sure `youtube-dl` is available in the path. Tested with version 2018.09.18.

2. Create a new bot using [BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather).

3. Copy `/src/main/resources/configuration.properties.example` to `/src/main/resources/configuration.properties`.

4. Edit `/src/main/resources/configuration.properties` and fill in the bot name that was selected and the bot token that was given by BotFather.

5. Run with `./gradlew start`.

6. Start a chat with the newly created bot or invite it to a group chat.

## Usage (Docker)

1. Create a new bot using [BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather).

2. Use `docker build -t telegramyoutubedl .` to build the image.

3. Start the image with `docker run -dit -e "BotConfiguration.token=" -e "BotConfiguration.name=" telegramyoutubedl`
