🤖📚 Telegram bot to convert and email PDFs, EPUBs or MOBIs to your Kindle

@bookbrokerbot: Start a chat with the bot!

Self-host

Create a Telegram Bot

You would first need to create a Telegram bot and get the bot's access token. Fortunately, it's pretty simple and easy: you can create one with @BotFather.

Make sure to take note of the token received! It should look like this: 3141592653:KAS_JFD04YEGFxbQV4FTPetQpZefUhr37HC.

Get your Telegram Chat ID

The chat_id identifies you on Telegram. You can get it by /starting a chat with @RawDataBot or some other ways. It can be a positive or negative number.

Setup the Server

  1. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/plibither8/bookbroker
  2. Install dependencies: pnpm install
  3. Create config.ts and .env files from their examples: cp config.example.ts config.ts, cp .env.example .env
  4. Edit the config.ts and .env file with your values

Development

Install ngrok: ngrok.com.

The project uses ngrok, nodemon and ts-node for local development. Do make sure to have ENVIRONMENT="dev" in your local .env file.

The domain used in development is provided by ngrok, thus the local config can leave the domain key empty.

$ pnpm dev

Production

The project uses tsc to build the files. On production, the webhook domain is determined by the the domain key in the config.ts file.

$ pnpm build
$ pnpm run
