Telegram publishing, the DocOps way

Publishing to Telegram channels from source code. Like a static site generator, but for Telegram.

Core features

The docops-bot is currently in early development stage. These features will be the core of docops-bot workflow:

• authoring in Markdown (and, further, rST & AsciiDoc);
• versioning with git;
• publishing, editing and removing posts with git commit & git push.

Source Code

See the code at github.com/NickVolynkin/docops-bot.

Proof of Concept

The proof of concept is the first project milestone. It includes a minimal implementation of core features:

• Bot is invoked in a GitLab CI pipeline.
• Bot reads environment variables and configuration from a file (name is hardcoded).
• Bot credentials are stored in pipeline settings and provided as environment variables.
• Path to the document and channel’s name are stored in a configuration file.
• Bot reads content in Markdown from a document.
• Bot posts the content to a channel, as a new post each time.
