Memogram

Memogram is an easy to use integration service for syncing messages and images from a Telegram bot into your Memos.

Prerequisites

• Memos service
• Telegram Bot

Installation

Download the binary files for your operating system from the Releases page.

Configuration

Create a .env file in the project's root directory and add the following configuration:

SERVER_ADDR=dns:localhost:5230
BOT_TOKEN=your_telegram_bot_token
INSTANCE_URL=https://memos.example.com

The SERVER_ADDR should be a gRPC server address that the Memos is running on. It follows the gRPC Name Resolution.

Usage

Starting the Service

1. Download and extract the released binary file;

2. Create a .env file in the same directory as the binary file;

3. Run the executable in the terminal:

   ./memogram

4. Once the bot is running, you can interact with it via your Telegram bot.

Starting with Docker

Or you can start the service with Docker:

1. Build the Docker image: docker build -t memogram .

2. Run the Docker container with the required environment variables:

   docker run -d --name memogram \
   -e SERVER_ADDR=dns:localhost:5230 \
   -e BOT_TOKEN=your_telegram_bot_token \
   memogram

3. The Memogram service should now be running inside the Docker container. You can interact with it via your Telegram bot.

4. Create Docker Compose docker-compose.yml file:

   services:
     memogram:
       env_file: .env
       build: memogram
       container_name: memogram

5. Run the bot via docker compose up -d
