ASFbot

Telegram Bot coded in python to control your ASF instance.

Control your ASF instance anywhere.

Usage:

• Executable: (python3) bot.py
• Arguments:
  • --token : Telegram API token given by @botfather (mandatory).
  • --alias : Telegram alias of the bot owner. Only this user can send commands to ASF. (mandatory).
  • --proxy : Telegram Proxy (if you have one. Input format: <protocol>://<host>:<port>. For example: http://192.168.1.1:7890)
  • --host : ASF IPC host (defaults to 127.0.0.1)
  • --port : ASF IPC listening port (defaults to 1242)
  • --password : ASF IPC password (if you have set one)
  • --verbosity: Log verbosity (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR)

You can also use environment variables to configure the bot. Environment variables would override any command argument set. The naming is pretty self-explanatory:

• TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
• TELEGRAM_USER_ALIAS
• TELEGRAM_PROXY
• ASF_IPC_HOST
• ASF_IPC_PORT
• ASF_IPC_PASSWORD

Once the bot has started and verified the connection to the ASF instance, you can send commands through your telegram bot using standard ASF notation (i.e.: !status asf) or Telegram notation (i.e.: /status asf). The bot also reads messages containing Steam cd-keys. It will automatically parse every key and activate them on your accounts with !redeem asf {{parsed_cdkey}} notifying you the process.

Quickstart (with docker)

1. Create a bot via @botfather.
2. Copy and fill the docker-compose.yml example below.
3. Start it!

ASF Configuration

ASF must have a permissive IPC configuration in order to allow ASFBot to interact. A permissive IPC.json configuration looks like this:

{
  "Kestrel": {
    "Endpoints": {
      "IPv4-http": {
        "Url": "http://0.0.0.0:1242"
      }
    },
    "PathBase": "/"
  }
}

You may also need to add this properties to ASF.json file:

{
  "IPCPrefixes": [
    "http://*:1242/"
  ]
}

Notes

I recommend running ASFBot via its Docker image. Here it is an example docker-compose.yml to run bot ASF and the bot on Docker. Copy this to a file named docker-compose.yml, fill the appropriate missing data:

• (1) your ASF/config directory path.
• (2) Your Telegram bot token.
• (3) Your Telegram user alias.

Run docker-compose up -d`

P.S.: ARMv7 and ARM64 docker builds are untested. Did you try them? Contact me!
