#### Telegram bot that turns a restaurant menu into a web page

A restaurant owner sends a menu to the bot on Telegram, as a file or as
text. The bot validates it, shows a preview and, once the owner taps
Publish, commits it to a static site repository that serves the menu
page. /qr returns a QR code of the page for the tables.

The snap runs the bot as a service. It is installed stopped, because
it needs a configuration first.

**Configure**

Create the file, readable by root only because it holds two tokens:

```
 sudo install -m 600 /dev/null /var/snap/decarta-bot/common/.env
 sudoedit /var/snap/decarta-bot/common/.env
```

Put these lines in it, with your own values:

```
 TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=<the token @BotFather gave you>
 HASH_SECRET=<32 or more random characters, e.g. from "openssl rand -hex 32">
 GITHUB_TOKEN=<a fine-grained token with "Contents: Read and write" on the site repository only>
 GITHUB_REPO=<owner/name of your copy of decarta-site>
 HUGO_BASE_URL=<https address of that site>
 ADMIN_USER_IDS=<your Telegram user ID; send /myid to the bot to see it>
```

The first five are required. Without ADMIN\_USER\_IDS the bot runs but
nobody may publish. Do not change HASH\_SECRET later: it changes every
menu address.

**Commands**

```
 sudo snap start --enable decarta-bot    # start now and at every boot
 sudo snap restart decarta-bot           # after changing .env
 sudo snap stop --disable decarta-bot    # stop and keep it stopped
 sudo snap logs -f decarta-bot           # follow the log
 snap services decarta-bot               # is it running?
 snap run decarta-bot --version          # which version is installed
```
