# The Photo-Album Bot for Telegram
## Compilation
Pack all web files
```sh
go generate
```
Compile for your target platform (example given for a Raspberry PI 3).
```sh
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build -o photo-bot
```
## Create a Bot
Talk to [BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots#6-botfather) to create your bot.
```
/newbot
```
Keep your bot token secure and safe!
## Create an OpenID Connect client
Follow the steps described in [Use your Google Account as an OpenID Connect provider](https://www.itix.fr/blog/use-google-account-openid-connect-provider/) to use your Google Suite with OpenID Connect.
## Installation
On your Raspberry PI.
```sh
mkdir -p /opt/photo-bot/bin
mkdir -p /opt/photo-bot/etc
mkdir -p /srv/photo-bot
useradd -d /srv/photo-bot -s /bin/false -m -r bot
chown bot:bot /srv/photo-bot
```
```sh
scp photo-bot [email protected]:/opt/photo-bot/bin/
```
Create a file named `photo-bot.yaml` in `/opt/photo-bot/etc/`, using the [provided config sample](configs/photo-bot.yaml) as a starting base.
**Note:** the Authentication and Encryption Keys can be created using `openssl rand -base64 32`
```sh
chown bot:bot /opt/photo-bot/etc/photo-bot.yaml
chmod 600 /opt/photo-bot/etc/photo-bot.yaml
```
Start the bot manually.
```sh
sudo -u bot /opt/photo-bot/bin/photo-bot
```
Create the startup script in `/etc/init.d/photo-bot`.
A sample init script is [provided in the init folder](init/photo-bot).
```sh
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/photo-bot
service photo-bot enable
service photo-bot start
```
## Useful notes
Video autoplay is tricky:
- On Firefox, you have to interact with the page first (click somewhere in the page)
- On Safari, you have to [explicitly enable auto-play for this website](https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/guide/safari/ibrw29c6ecf8/mac)
- On Chrome, it seems to be enabled out-of-the-box
