Nostr quote bot

Python and Go options with install script for a cronjob

Best run on a VPS or a machine that's always on with reliable internet (Raspberry Pi is more than enough)

Update 26/05/23: Quotes.py script totally rewritten to avoid duplicates. For details see the comments in the script.

Update 27/05/23: Added a Go version!

Update 10/06/23: Added an install script to automate adding your choice of Python or Go script as a cronjob!

A Nostr quote bot for Linux. Picks a random line from a text file and sends it to Nostr using Noscl.

Simply clone the repo to your home folder and give the shell scripts execute permissions by running this command inside the nostr-quote-bot directory:

chmod +x install_nostr_bot.sh && chmod +x nostrquotes.sh && chmod +x gonostrquotes.sh

Now make sure you put your quotes.txt inside the nostr-quote-bot directory with one quote per line and no blank lines.

Then run the install script:

./install_nostr_bot.sh

Done!

Here is an example of this in action!
