TasksListsBot

This Telegram bot is used to manage multiple tasks lists within Telegram chats.

It is based on pyTelegramBotAPI, a Python interface for the Telegram Bot API.

Try it in Telegram: TasksListsBot

Usage

To run your own instance of this bot you must first register a new Telegram bot. Once you have a token for your bot, you may proceed with options 1 or 2.

Option 1: Manual execution

First, you have to create the necessary environment variables:

• BOT_TOKEN: The token you obtained in the previous step.
• DATA_DIR_PATH: The path for the data directory.

After that, you only need to execute the following terminal command:

python ./tasks_lists_bot.py

This will run the bot attached to your current terminal. If you want it to stay in the background you will need to have a look at tools like tmux.

Option 2: Docker container (recommended)

First, you have to create a ".env" file in the repository root with the following format:

DATA_DIR_PATH=pat_to_the_data_directory
BOT_TOKEN=your_bot_token_here

You can now run the bot with a single docker command:

docker compose up -d --build

This will run the bot as a Docker container in the background.
