• Prerequisites in the repository
  • An OpenAI account and API key (note: this is pay as you go).
  • Telegram, a Telegram bot, and its token.

Guide

1. Optional: Fork the n3d1117/chatgpt-telegram-bot repository.
2. Clone the repository using Git to a local folder:

   $ git clone https://github.com/n3d1117/chatgpt-telegram-bot.git
   $ cd chatgpt-telegram-bot

3. Configure the Telegram bot's settings as pointed out in the repository.
4. Once you're satisfied with the settings, launch a Fly.io app with the command:

   $ flyctl launch

5. Configure the settings for the Fly.io app with prompts asked by the CLI, for example in the Fly.io Dockerfile guide:

   ? App Name (leave blank to use an auto-generated name): telechatgpt

   ? Select region: lax (Los Angeles, California (US))
   Created app telechatgpt in organization personal
   Wrote config file fly.toml
   ? Would you like to deploy now? (y/N) y
   

6. Wait until the app has finished deploying by checking out the monitoring.
7. Once done, you can start chatting by sending /start to your bot in Telegram which you configured in step 3.
