1. Install binary
You have two ways to install the binary.
-
Install from crates.io registry.
cargo install tgbot-mastodon-sync
-
Install from git repository.
git clone https://github.com/SpriteOvO/tgbot-mastodon-sync.git cd tgbot-mastodon-sync git checkout <latest-version> cargo install --path .
Both ways are build from source.
2. Configure database
This project uses sqlite
as the database engine.
Choose a file path for the database, its URL will be:
sqlite:absolute/path/to/database.sqlite
You may want to add ?mode=rwc
to the end of the URL, which will make the bot automatically create the database file if it doesn't exist.
sqlite:absolute/path/to/database.sqlite?mode=rwc
Tables will be created / migrated automatically by the bot at startup.
3. Start the bot
Configure environment variables:
TGBOT_MASTODON_SYNC_BOT_TOKEN
TGBOT_MASTODON_SYNC_DATABASE_URL
Run tgbot-mastodon-sync
.
Note
-
The bot requires privacy mode to be turned off, because media groups need to be cached in advance.
-
The database and memory may contain secret data, so pay attention to security.
