Proof of Concept

First of all, this project is a proof of concept that proves usability of Bash scripting language in a modern environment. It works but it still far from being a perfect app.

Features

• Basic Telegram API - receiving updates (long polling) and sending messages.
• Basic Mopidy API - adding tracks (Google Music only, so Mopidy-Gmusic is required for mopidy backend), setting play mode and volume.
• High readability via Bash Infinity (OOP paradigm in Bash)
• JSON configuration
• caching via SQLite3

Dependencies

• Bash 4
• jq
• SQLite3

On Debian/Ubuntu you can install both via

sudo apt-get install jq sqlite3

Installation

First, clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/421p/telegram-mopidy-bash.git

Then, edit a config.json by adding your telegram_token and allowed_users. Probably you also want to change mopidy_uri if it's running somewhere else.

And now you are ready to start bot:

./bot.sh

Modifying bot for your own needs

You can modify bot commands by changing only 2 things:

• bot keyboard (reply_markup in config.json)
• executed code (src/command/CommandStorage.sh)

Also, you may totally remove mopidy-related code and use this as bash-telegram-bot boilerplate. Or even vice versa.
