# telewarder

## Installation

First build the image with `docker-compose build`.

Set up environment variables in `.env` file, get them from https://my.telegram.org/apps. Copy `.env.example` and modify it.

Once built, run once: `docker run -it --env-file .env -v $PWD/data:/data telewarder python3 /app/app.py`, it will ask for your phone number (use country code, like `+34666123456`), enter it and follow instructions. When finished, quit with `CTRL+c`. You should now see `telewarder.session` and `telewarder.session-journal` files under `data` folder.

You're now all set up.

## Run

Execute `docker-compose up -d`

The app will be listening to messages sent to the user only (it won't listen to messages sent to groups where the user is), and make a HTTP POST query to the `URL` server in the `/sendmessage` endpoint, it will send the data as follows:

```
{
    "chat_id": 123456789,
    "message_id": 987654321,
    "message": "Hello, world!"
}
```

The app will also query the `URL` in the `/readmessages` endpoint every few seconds, this should have a response with the following format:

```
[
    {
        "chat_id": 123456789,
        "message_id": 987654321,
        "message": "Hello, world!"
    },
    {
        "chat_id": 987654321,
        "message_id": 123456789,
        "message": "This is a test message."
    }
]
```

It will go through every message and send the text as a reply to each one, the data should be the same that the app sent before.
