This repository contains source code of a small yet rather powerful bot for Telegram, which handles reports from users and passes them to admins. Uses aiogram framework.
The main goal is to build a bot with no external database needed. Thus, it may lack some features, but hey, it's open source!

• /report command to gather reports from users;
• Reports can be sent to a dedicated chat or to dialogues with admins;
• /ro command to set user "read-only" and /nomedia to allow text messages only;
• [optional] Automatically remove "user joined" service messages;
• [optional] Automatically ban channels (since December 2021 users can write on behalf of their channels);
• If text message starts with @admin, admins are notified;
• A simple interface for admins to choose one of actions on reported message;
• English and Russian languages are built-in.

• Python 3.9 and above;
• Tested on Linux, should work on Windows, no platform-specific code is used;
• Systemd (you can use it to enable autostart and autorestart) or Docker.

1. Go to @BotFather, create a new bot, write down its token, add it to your existing group and make bot an admin. You also need to give it "Delete messages" permission.
2. Create a separate group where report messages will be sent and add all group admins there. Remember: anyone who is in that group may perform actions like "Delete", "Ban" and so on, so be careful.
3. Use some bot like @my_id_bot to get IDs of these two groups;
4. Clone this repo and cd into it;
5. Copy env_dist to .env (with dot). Warning: files starting with dot may be hidden in Linux, so don't worry if you stop seeing this file, it's still here!
6. Replace default values with your own;
7. Now choose installation method: systemd or Docker

1. Create a venv (virtual environment): python3.9 -m venv venv (or any other Python 3.7+ version);
2. source venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt;
3. Rename reportbot.service.example to reportbot.service and move it to /etc/systemd/system;
4. Open that file and change values for WorkingDirectory, ExecStart and EnvironmentFile providing the correct path values;
5. Start your bot and enable its autostart: sudo systemctl enable reportbot.service --now;
   6.Check your bot's status and logs: systemctl status reportbot.service.

1. Build and run your container: docker-compose up -d.

Alternatively, check docker-compose.yml file from this repo.
