Deploy your own

You can deploy your own instance of this bot. You will need a few things:

  • A Telegram bot token. Contact @BotFather in order to create a new bot and receive a token.
  • A Goodreads API key. Apply for one here.
  • A working installation of Rust.

Once you have both of these keys, you need to store them as environment variables:

$ export TELEGRAM_TOKEN="123456789:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
$ export GOODREADS_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

Finally, you can run the bot:

$ RUST_LOG=info cargo +nightly run --release
