Telegram bot for querying weeelab log.

weeelab-telegram-bot

WEEE-Open Telegram bot.

The goal of this bot is to obtain information about who is currently in the lab,
who has done what, compute some stats and, in general, simplify the life of our members...
And to avoid waste of paper as well.

Data comes from

• a weeelab log file, which is fetched from a NextCloud shared folder.
• the tarallo inventory management system
• a LDAP server

Installation

weeelab_bot.py is the main script, and it requires a lot of enviroment variables. A lot. Some of them:

• OC_URL: Url of the owncloud server
• OC_USER: OwnCloud username
• OC_PWD: OwnCloud password
• TOKEN_BOT: Telegram token for the bot API
• LOG_PATH: Path of the file to read in owncloud (/folder/file.txt)
• USER_BOTH_PATH: Path of the file to store bot users in OwnCloud (/folder/file.txt)
