# telegram-group2mastodon |
||||
|
||||
telegram-group2mastodon is a Telegram bot to post messages from a Telegram |
||||
group to Mastodon. You should only use on public groups and set the bot to be |
||||
able to read all the messages. |
||||
group to Mastodon. It's written in Go and it is relased under the AGPL3+. |
||||
Since the bot must be able to read all the messages you should use it only on |
||||
public groups. |
||||
|
||||
**This is still a Work In Progress, please don't use at the moment, since also |
||||
documentation is missing.** |
||||
## Installation |
||||
|
||||
## TODO |
||||
1. Build the bot (for example if version is v0.1.0 and you are on a unix system): |
||||
``` |
||||
cd /tmp; GOPATH=/tmp/go go install noa.mornie.org/eriol/telegram-group2mastodon@v0.1.0 |
||||
``` |
||||
You will find the binary at `/tmp/go/bin/telegram-group2mastodon`. You don't |
||||
need to set `GOPATH` if you already have it set and you are fine having the |
||||
bot installed there. |
||||
|
||||
- [x] Publish text messages from Telegram to Mastodon. |
||||
- [x] Handle text > 500 characters (or mastodon instance limit). |
||||
- [x] Handle messages with 1 photo and caption. |
||||
- [x] Handle messages with multiple photos. |
||||
- [x] Add configuration variable to set mastodon message visibility. |
||||
