Telegram Bot to access EPFL services (and more) from everyday chats.

Try it on Telegram @EpflBot (case insensitive).

To connect using your EPFL account and have some extra goodies, go to @EPFLBot login or use the /login command.

The bot runs in privacy mode; only has access to /commands and messages where it's @mentioned. It does NOT store passwords or sensitive credentials.

With docker, this will launch Elasticsearch for the storage and Kibana to access it (slow to start, about 2 minutes):

docker-compose up -d

On Linux, if docker fails to spawn Elasticsearch run sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144.

To enable Tequila authentication locally we recommend ngrok.

ngrok http 8080

Then set your ngrok-provided URL (and port) in the application.conf.

Standard setup:

echo "YOUR-TELEGRAM-TOKEN-HERE" > token
sbt
> ~re-start

The bot uses Traefik as reverse proxy to serve the showcase website and bind to some thirdparty integrations (e.g. Tequila).

sbt clean assembly
cp .env.example .env
vim .env
docker-compose -f docker-compose-prod.yml up --build -d
