Telegram Bot that converts (for now) OPUS, MP3 and WebM files to voice messages, HEVC and MP4 (MPEG4, VP6 and VP8) to video messages or video notes (rounded ones), video messages to video notes (rounded ones), PDF files to photo messages (currently only the first page) and image files to stickers. It also tries to download videos from some websites and send them as video messages. The bot currently runs as @FileConvertBot.

Make sure you send the image as a file and know that the bot also works in groups!

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

You need to install Homebrew by running:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Clone the project and install the dependencies by running:

cd /desired/location/path
git clone https://github.com/revolter/FileConvertBot.git
cd FileConvertBot

brew install pipenv
pipenv --three
pipenv shell
pipenv install

cd src
cp config_sample.cfg config.cfg

Then, edit the file named config.cfg inside the src folder with the correct values and run it using ./main.py -d.

Use exit to close the virtual environment.

You can easily deploy this to a cloud machine using Fabric:

cd /project/location/path

pipenv shell
pipenv install --dev

cp fabfile_sample.cfg fabfile.cfg

Then, edit the file named fabfile.cfg inside the root folder with the correct values and run Fabric using:

fab setup
fab deploy

You can also deploy a single file using fab deploy --filename=main.py or fab deploy --source=meta --filename=Pipfile.

Currently, you have to manually install poppler in order for PDF to PNG conversion to work:

• macOS: brew install poppler
• Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install poppler-utils
