# NixOS Updates Bot for Telegram

*(Add the bot  Join the channel at )*

Periodically checks for Nix channel updates and posts them in a channel. Also, sends private messages for subscribed updates.

## Usage

Watch the channel , or send, say, `/subscribe nixpkgs-unstable` to .

## Deployment

Why would you want to do that?

If you want to somehow deploy *another* *same* bot:

- Configuration is currently a bit hard-coded. Change code according to your needs

- Specify these environment variables

    - `BOT_SECRET`: A secret string to use in webhooks

    - `TELEGRAM_KEY`: Your Telegram bot key

    - `DATABASE_URL`: A Postgresql connection URL

    - `ARMED`: `true` if you want the bot to send Telegram messages (or any non-reply requests to the Telegram servers at all)

    - `PORT`: Port to listen on. Defaults to `5000`

- Set webhook to `.../webhook/$BOT_SECRET` using the Telegram Bot API manually.

- Periodically `POST` to `/update` with json like `{ "secret": "", "action": "update" }`. An update will run in the background after some delay (`0` to `60` seconds random).
