tgbot-mastodon-sync

A Telegram bot synchronizes Telegram messages to Mastodon.

Official hosted account: @mastodonsyncbot

Self-Host

1. Install binary

You have two ways to install the binary.

• Install from crates.io registry.

  bash cargo install tgbot-mastodon-sync

• Install from git repository.

  bash git clone https://github.com/SpriteOvO/tgbot-mastodon-sync.git cd tgbot-mastodon-sync git checkout <latest-version> cargo install --path .

Both ways are build from source.

2. Configure database

This project uses sqlite as the database engine.

Choose a file path for the database, its URL will be:

sqlite:absolute/path/to/database.sqlite

You may want to add ?mode=rwc to the end of the URL, which will make the bot automatically create the database file if it doesn't exist.

sqlite:absolute/path/to/database.sqlite?mode=rwc

Tables will be created / migrated automatically by the bot at startup.

3. Start the bot

Configure environment variables:

• TGBOT_MASTODON_SYNC_BOT_TOKEN
• TGBOT_MASTODON_SYNC_DATABASE_URL

Run tgbot-mastodon-sync.

Note

• The bot requires privacy mode to be turned off, because media groups need to be cached in advance.

• The database and memory may contain secret data, so pay attention to security.
