A service that converts a bunch of RSS feeds into a Telegram channel.

• Uses JSON as a source of RSS feeds (you can put it on GitHub Gist)
• Uses JSON on GitHub Gist as a storage for the state (just for fun C:)
• Publishes posts from those RSS feeds to a Telegram channel

1. Create a JSON file with the following structure and put it somewhere:

{
  "feeds": [
    "https://blog.github.com/all.atom",
    "https://github.blog/engineering.atom",
    "http://www.reddit.com/r/golang/.rss"
  ]
}

2. If you want your bot to see new RSS feeds without rebuild, make sure your link always points to the latest version of the file (e.g. https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rozag/dcd1b09bbe12a942dbe0f3bcbb2ace7b/raw/feeds-tech.json). See instructions for GitHub Gist here

1. Create a new private GitHub Gist with the following content: {}. Remember the .json file name and the Gist id (you can find it in the URL)
2. Create a GitHub token with gist scope. Remember the generated token

1. Create a Telegram channel. Remember it's id (e.g. @my_channel)
2. Ask BotFather to create a new bot for you. Remember your bot token
3. Add your new bot to administrators of your new channel

1. BTW you can simply run the app with go run .
2. Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/rozag/rss-tg-chan.git
3. cd rss-tg-chan
4. Put all your ids and tokens to the config.ini file like this:

source=LINK_TO_YOUR_SOURCES_JSON

githubToken=YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN_WITH_GIST_SCOPE
githubGistID=YOUR_STORAGE_JSON_GIST_ID
githubGistFileName=YOUR_STORAGE_JSON_GIST_FILE_NAME

tgToken=YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
tgChannel=@YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHANNEL_ID

5. Build docker image: docker build --rm --tag YOUR_IMAGE_NAME:YOUR_IMAGE_TAG .
6. Run your container locally docker run YOUR_IMAGE_NAME:YOUR_IMAGE_TAG or use docker save, scp and docker load to transfer it to some remote host
