Installation tutorial

Please install Docker first before preparing to install, install the command

#CentOS 6 system rpm -iUvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm yum update -y yum -y install docker-io service docker start chkconfig docker on #CentOS 7, Debian, Ubuntu system curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh systemctl start docker systemctl enable docker

Use software such as Putty or Xshell to enter your series and execute the following command

mkdir ~/flowerss &&\ wget -O ~/flowerss/config.yml \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/indes/flowerss-bot/master/config.yml.sample

Then we need to edit the config.yml file. Specifically, we can use WinSCP or Pagoda file management (docker can also be installed in the Pagoda panel).

It is not recommended for novices to use the vim command to edit directly.

The directory where the file is located:/root/flowerss/config.yml

After opening, refer to the configuration below. There is a small pit here. bot_token: xxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There is a space after the colon.

bot_token: xxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx #Telegram bot’s key telegraph_token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx #telegraph’s key #Multiple telegraph_tokens can be in array format: #telegraph_token: # - token_1 # - token_2 telegraph_account: kxcepinger telegraph_author_name: kxcepinger telegraph_author_url: https://www.kxceping.com socks5: #Used in environments where Telegram API cannot function normally, ignored under normal circumstances. update_interval: 10 #Update time user_agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36 # mysql: # host: # port: #user: # password: # database: #telegram: #endpoint: log: level: release db_log: false #Print database log, false will only print database error log # file: ./flowerss.log sqlite: path: /root/.flowerss/data.db allowed_users: - xxxxxxxxxx #Enter telegram ID

There are still relatively few modifications we need to make here. Here are the ones we will use.

1. Obtain the token of telegram bot

Search for @BotFather in telegram, then enter /newbot, fill in the relevant information, and the bot token will be automatically generated.

2. Obtain telegraph token

Open a browser and enter the following: https://api.telegra.ph/createAccount?short_name=xxxxxx&author_name=xxxxx&author_url=https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Among them, xxxxxx is the content you are going to fill in, which are "Abbreviation", "Author Name", and "Author Website". Mine are kxcepinger and https://www.kxceping.com Specific example: https://api.telegra.ph/createAccount?short_name=kxcepinger&author_name=kxcepinger&author_url=https://www.kxceping.com

3. Get telegram ID

Search @getmyid_bot in telegram and click "Start" to get the user ID.

4. Comment out mysql and just add # in front of it.

To run the deployment, we directly execute the following command

docker run -d -v ~/flowerss:/root/.flowerss indes/flowerss-bot

My robot is @kxcepinger_bot
