rust-bot

Telegram bot triggered by rust word.

How to Run

1. Declare the env variables

   $ export TELOXIDE_TOKEN=<Your token here>

   $ export DATABASE_URL=<Your postgress db url here>

   Optional — daily Hacker News digest (disabled unless HN_DIGEST_CHAT_IDS is set):

   Variable	Default	Meaning
   HN_DIGEST_CHAT_IDS	(unset = off)	Comma-separated numeric chat ids, e.g. -1001234567890,-1009876543210. The bot must be able to post there (admin with "Post messages" in channels).
   HN_DIGEST_TIME_UTC	17:00	Daily post time, HH:MM in UTC.
   HN_DIGEST_TOP_N	3	Stories per digest, 1–10.
   HN_DIGEST_RUN_ON_STARTUP	false	Also post once at startup. For local testing only — every restart/deploy posts again.

   On-demand digest: in any group the bot is in, send /hn [1-10] (default 3). The bot replies with that many summarized top stories; an invalid count gets a usage hint. Each chat can run it once per 10 minutes (tracked in Redis). Works whether or not the daily digest is enabled.

2. Create the database.

   $ sqlx db create

3. Run sql migrations

   $ sqlx migrate run

4. Build and run application

 cargo run
