Bot that is used to create other bots in an easy way on Actor Server.
BotFather need to run in priveledged mode to create other bots. To achieve this you need to create bot token via actor-cli with admin privilegies:
actor-cli create-bot --username botfather --name "Bot Father" --admin
Docker installation is prefferable way to start BotFather and you can do it with command:
docker run -e BOT_FATHER_USERNAME=<username_of_botfather> -e BOT_FATHER_TOKEN=<bot-token-from-actor-cli> -e BOT_FATHER_ENDPOINT=wss://api.actor.im actor/bot-father
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BOT_FATHER_USERNAME | yes | Username of a BotFather |
| BOT_FATHER_TOKEN | yes | Token for BotFather |
| BOT_FATHER_ENDPOINT | no | Endpoint to server API. If no set will connect to main actor cloud. |
Alternative is building bot from sources and running app directly. BTW we don't recommend this and won't support such king of installations.
