Go Telegram Multibot

A scalable, multi-bot solution for Telegram using Go, GORM, and the Anthropic API.

Design Considerations

• AI-powered
• Supports multiple bot profiles
• Uses SQLite for persistence
• Implements rate limiting and user management
• Modular architecture
• Comprehensive unit tests

Usage

1. Clone the repository or install using go get:

   • Option 1: Clone the repository

     git clone https://github.com/HugeFrog24/go-telegram-bot.git
     

   • Option 2: Install using go get

     go get -u github.com/HugeFrog24/go-telegram-bot
     

   • Navigate to the project directory:

     cd go-telegram-bot
     

2. Copy the default config template and edit it:

   cp config/default.json config/config-mybot.json
   

   Replace config-mybot.json with the name of your bot.

   nano config/config-mybot.json
   

   You can set up as many bots as you want. Just copy the template and edit the parameters.

[!IMPORTANT]
Keep your config files secret and do not commit them to version control.

3. Build the application:

   go build -o telegram-bot
   

Systemd Unit Setup

To enable the bot to start automatically on system boot and run in the background, set up a systemd unit.

1. Copy the systemd unit template and edit it:

   sudo cp examples/systemd/telegram-bot.service /etc/systemd/system/telegram-bot.service
   

   Edit the service file:

   nano /etc/systemd/system/telegram-bot.service
   

   Adjust the following parameters:

   • WorkingDirectory
   • ExecStart
   • User

2. Enable and start the service:

   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   

   sudo systemctl enable telegram-bot.service
   

   sudo systemctl start telegram-bot.service
   

3. Check the status:

   sudo systemctl status telegram-bot
   

For more details on the systemd setup, refer to the demo service file.
