Release the quacken!

Dumb problems require over-engineered solutions

Because I can! I know, there is are much easier solution, but who cares?!

The problem

One of my friends (for real, not imaginary) uses a crappy® Huawei™ router. And this is a router without a router! You can't bind a static local IP address to the server, but he needs it to use Octoprint. So I created this abomination!

How to use

Set up

Create .env and format it like this:

# Telegram API token.
TG_KEY="YOUR_BOT:TOKEN"

Don't forget to replace it with your real bot token!

Install packages:

sudo npm -g i pm2 && npm i

Compile TypeScript:

npx tsc

Spawn the demon!

pm2 start app.config.js

Don't forget to make demon persistent!

Usage

After starting the bot send him /start and press Became admin! button.

Yep, next step is a little bit manual

Copy your account entry from candidates.json to admins.json, Restart the bot. And voila you can ask the bot about his network configuration.

How to quack?

Send the bot /quack command or press Quack! button!

Be aware of awkward duck!

TODO
