Telegram bot for Evernote

Telegram bot for Evernote

This bot can save everything that you send to your Evernote account.

You can use this bot in Telegram: https://t.me/evernoterobot
Or you can use your own telegram bot and your own server, then see Installation

Installation

If you have some reasons do not use my bot deployed on my server, you can use your own installation.

• Create your own bot with the BotFather (see https://core.telegram.org/bots#3-how-do-i-create-a-bot)
• Create your own Evernote application and obtain a pair of keys (access key and access secret)
  • Go to https://dev.evernote.com/doc/ and press the green button "GET AN API KEY"
• Install a Docker to your server (see https://docs.docker.com/install/)
• Get and set up SSL certificate (see https://letsencrypt.org)
• Set up nginx/caddy/another proxy server to work with your SSL certificate.
• Check you have curl on your server (usually it's installed by default)
• Execute this command: sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/djudman/evernote-telegram-bot/master/evernotebot-install.sh --output evernotebot-install.sh && sh evernotebot-install.sh
  • sudo is needed because there is copying a file to /etc/init.d directory
  • you will need to enter some data as:
    • telegram api token
    • evernote access key
    • evernote access secret
    • etc., see Environment variables
• Execute /etc/init.d/evernotebot start to start bot
