teleirc

Telegram <-> IRC gateway.

• Uses the node-telegram-bot library for Telegram communication
• IRC communication via martynsmith's node-irc module
• All Telegram messages are sent to IRC channel
• IRC messages sent to Telegram only when bot is hilighted (configurable)

Setup

git clone https://github.com/FruitieX/teleirc
cd teleirc
npm install
cp teleirc_config.js.example ~/.teleirc_config.js

Next, set up your bot via the BotFather Telegram user. Save your bot token in ~/.teleirc_config.js. Remember to allow the bot to see all messages via the /setprivacy command to BotFather, otherwise only messages starting with a slash are visible to teleirc.

Now read through the rest of ~/.teleirc_config.js and change the configuration as appropriate.

When you're done, launch teleirc with:

npm start

Optional:

• For your convenience, there is an included systemd unit file in teleirc.service.
• You can change your Telegram Bot's profile picture with the /setuserpic BotFather command.

Special thanks

Thanks to warbaque for an implementation using Telegram Bot API!
