README
This bot does exactly what it is intented to do! If you want other features (e.g. editing messages, updating messages, etc), you have to customize it for yourself. Reading [python-telegram](http://python-telegram.readthedocs.io/) and [TDlib](https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs/) documentation may help you for doing so.
**PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR NEW FEATURES!**
# Telegram Copy Bot
## What it does
This bot copies (not forward) messages from a source channel (which doesn't have administrator privileges on it) to a destination chat (simple user, channel, etc.).
## How to use
1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
```
cp .env.example .env
```
2. Obtain `api_id` and `api_hash` from [this link](https://my.telegram.org/apps) and fill it inside `Telegram Configuration` section of the `.env` file alongside other configurations (such as phone number of your user, which acts as your bot).
3. Run the project via Docker and login to Telegram:
```
docker run -it \
--env-file=.env \
-v td-data:/tmp/.tdlib_files \
radinshayanfar/tgcopybot
```
4. After logging in, you will see your chat names and their chat id. Copy chat ids of source and destination chats and put them inside `App Configuration` section of the `.env` file.
5. Run the container in detached mode and it will do the job:
```
docker run -d \
--env-file=.env \
-v td-data:/tmp/.tdlib_files \
radinshayanfar/tgcopybot
```
