I was developing a telegram bot, running from my personal machine (Mac) The bot is running on python, in a specific environment with modules installed on that environment
Now that the bot is fine, I'd like to put it on a web server, running Apache. But I have some questions.
1) I have to install each module at the server to everybody or I can create an environment for this specific bot and apache runs that bot on that environment?
2) I was using getUpdates (makes my machine very slow, but is better to debug errors) and now I want to run using webhook. What a have to change exactly to make him work if webhook instead of getUpdates going to telegram server? Today the code to start and keep running is that:
def main(): updater = Updater(bot_token) dp = updater.dispatcher # Commands dp.add_handler(CommandHandler("info", ranking_putaria)) dp.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start)) # Start checking updates dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text,echo_msg)) dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.video | Filters.photo | Filters.document, echo_file)) dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.sticker, echo_sticker)) # Log errors #dp.add_error_handler(error) # start the bot updater.start_polling() # Run the bot until you press Ctrl-C or the process receives SIGINT, # SIGTERM or SIGABRT. This should be used most of the time, since # start_polling() is non-blocking and will stop the bot gracefully. updater.idle() if __name__ == '__main__': main()
