# dependencies
|
|
- ffmpeg >= 7.x **(*)**
|
|
- libheif >= 1.19.7
|
|
- pkg-config
|
|
- mysql or mariadb
|
|
|
|
**note:** libav shared libraries must be installed on the system in order to build the bot.
|
|
|
|
# installation
|
|
## build
|
|
_this method only works on linux and macos, if you want to build the bot on windows, check [docker installation](#docker-recommended) instead._
|
|
|
|
1. clone the repository
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/govdbot/govd.git && cd govd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. edit the `.env` file to set the database properties.
|
|
for enhanced security, it is recommended to change the `DB_PASSWORD` property in the `.env` file.
|
|
|
|
3. make sure your database is up and running.
|
|
|
|
4. build and run the bot:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sh build.sh && ./govd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## docker (recommended)
|
|
|
|
1. build the image using the dockerfile:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker build -t govd-bot .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. update the `.env` file to ensure the database properties match the environment variables defined for the mariadb service in the `docker-compose.yml` file.
|
|
for enhanced security, it is recommended to change the `MYSQL_PASSWORD` property in `docker-compose.yaml` and ensure `DB_PASSWORD` in `.env` matches it.
|
|
|
|
the following line in the `.env` file **must** be set as:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
DB_HOST=db
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. run the compose to start all services:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
you can configure specific extractors options with `ext-cfg.yaml` file. documentation is not available yet, but you can check the source code for more information.
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> to avoid limits on files, you should host your own telegram botapi and set `BOT_API_URL` variable according. public bot instance is currently running under a botapi fork, [tdlight-telegram-bot-api](https://github.com/tdlight-team/tdlight-telegram-bot-api), but you can use the official botapi client too.
|
|
|
|
# proxying
|
|
there are two types of proxying available: http and edge.
|
|
- **http proxy**: this is a standard http proxy that can be used to route requests through a proxy server. you can set the `HTTP_PROXY` and `HTTPS_PROXY` environment variables to use this feature. (SOCKS5 is supported too)
|
|
- **edge proxy**: this is a custom proxy that is used to route requests through a specific url. currenrly, you can only set this proxy with `ext-cfg.yaml` file. this is useful for routing requests through a specific server or service. however, this feature is not totally implemented yet.
|
|
|
|
**note:** by settings `NO_PROXY` environment variable, you can specify domains that should not be proxied.
|
|
|
|
# authentication
|
|
some extractors require authentication to access the content. you can easily use cookies for that; simply export cookies from your browser in netscape format and place them in cookies folder (e.g. `cookies/reddit.txt`). you can easily export cookies using _Get cookies.txt LOCALLY_ extension for your browser.
|
|
|
|
