Termigram

tui interface for termigram
telegram bot interface

Inspiration

We were talking about how we used to copy programs from computer lab with ssh for lab hours in college and a friend of mine suggested an idea of having to use his server hosted on cloud without having his lap with his side all the time from an app like whatsapp/some other app, due to the great api support we chose telegram

What it does

termigram listens for bot commands and executes those commands on the host system and redirects the response to the chat window
it also ensures that only authorized users can access the host system
it can also print previous logs of its usage for auditing

How we built it

we built it in golang with the help tgbotapi for golang

Challenges we ran into

we first struggled to setup proper authorization for users and finally managed to use a config.json for defining the allowed user's telegram ids and also allows users to know their telegram id without authorization
