Also information density is terribly low). -* Access this setup via SSH, so I can use it on "foreign" computers. - -# Set up - -My [workstation container image](build_workstation) includes Soju, Bitlbee, and the Telegram/Bitlbee adapter. -I have Python scripts that configure [soju](../scripts/p7s/soju.py) and [Bitlbee](../scripts/p7s/bitlbee.py) as persistent systemd services running as containers. - -I use [Senpai](https://git.sr.ht/~delthas/senpai/) through [nix-portable](https://github.com/DavHau/nix-portable). - -I install Goguma on my phone using [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/). - -After connecting Senpai to Soju, you talk to a bot called `BouncerServ` to connect to your IRC networks, including the "virtual" IRC network that Bitlbee uses. -When you join/part channels in any client, Soju takes care of making those actions permanent. - -You message a special channel in Bitlbee to create "accounts" that connect to IM networks such as Telegram. - -* Take care of following [the Telegram Bitlbee documentation on configuring it for proper nicknames](https://github.com/BenWiederhake/tdlib-purple/#proper-user-names-in-bitlbee). -* Set the `read-receipts` account property to `false`? -* Set the `auto_join` channel property to `true`? -* `chat list telegram-tdlib` lists channels, but only shows topic, not title.
