Once you've setup your database and your configuration (see below) is complete, simply run:
python3 -m EvilBot
There are two possible ways of configuring your bot: a config.py file, or ENV variables.
If you can't have a config.py file (EG on heroku), it is also possible to use environment variables. The following env variables are supported:
-
API HASH AND ID: Your Api Hash And Id from here. -
ENV: Setting this to ANYTHING will enable env variables -
TOKEN: Your bot token. -
OWNER_ID: An integer of consisting of your owner ID -
OWNER_USERNAME: Your username -
DATABASE_URL: Your database URL -
MESSAGE_DUMP: optional: a chat where your replied saved messages are stored, to stop people deleting their old -
LOAD: Space separated list of modules you would like to load -
NO_LOAD: Space separated list of modules you would like NOT to load -
WEBHOOK: Setting this to ANYTHING will enable webhooks when in env mode messages -
URL: The URL your webhook should connect to (only needed for webhook mode) -
SUDO_USERS: A space separated list of user_ids which should be considered sudo users -
SUPPORT_USERS: A space separated list of user_ids which should be considered support users (can gban/ungban, nothing else) -
WHITELIST_USERS: A space separated list of user_ids which should be considered whitelisted - they can't be banned. -
DONATION_LINK: Optional: link where you would like to receive donations. -
CERT_PATH: Path to your webhook certificate -
PORT: Port to use for your webhooks -
DEL_CMDS: Whether to delete commands from users which don't have rights to use that command -
STRICT_GBAN: Enforce gbans across new groups as well as old groups. When a gbanned user talks, he will be banned. -
WORKERS: Number of threads to use. 8 is the recommended (and default) amount, but your experience may vary. Note that going crazy with more threads wont necessarily speed up your bot, given the large amount of sql data accesses, and the way python asynchronous calls work. -
BAN_STICKER: Which sticker to use when banning people. -
ALLOW_EXCL: Whether to allow using exclamation marks ! for commands as well as /.
