This is a tutorial about creating a telegram bot that is used for the telegram-reply-bot for steem. This idea originally came as questions flooded in about how to setup the telegram reply bot. I want people to know how to use this project successfully, so I created this tutorial that is basically how to use it including setting up your telegram service.
Requirements
- Docker is required to start and run the bot. Please make sure you have installed it. This tutorial does not cover that.
- Telegram Account please make sure you already have one.
Audience
This is intended for anyone interested in running a standalone version of the bot. You do not need to do this to use the bot. Beginners level technical knowledge is all you will need to complete this tutorial.
Here is the Video
Further Instructions
Some additional (really, they're the same) instructions on how to set this up.
Botfather
- Start a conversation in Telegram with Botfather
- Use
/newbotto create your bot - Save your token
telegram-reply-steem-bot
Setting this up is easy
docker run --rm -e STEEM_NAME=$STEEM_NAME -e BOT_TOKEN=$BOT_TOKEN r351574nc3/telegram-reply-steem-bot:latest

You need to initiate a conversation to get those replies.
- Open a conversation with your bot

/start <your steem name> <your steem wif>

Ok, this is what I mentioned before about adjectives. They're subjective. Simple? As I said in the video, this is something that is pretty commonly requested of for me. This bot has existed now for nearly a couple months and I'm still being asked how to set things up.
Further, it goes beyond just simple setup. This is a full tutorial that illustrates how to run the bot, create and configure another bot in telegram, not just set it up.
