Hello World!
This is a quote bot (shell script) which shows a random quote from a file every time it is invoked.
Note: You need to make it executable to use it.
The reason i use a file and not the web is hackability, at the moment.
Please provide a quotes.txt file with one line per quote.
Have fun!

## REST-Version
The Rest-Version has functioning mastodon connection over REST-API. You need to run the full oauth user authentication before. I tried to use the "Development" section in Mastodon Preferences but it didnt work. What did work was the out of bounds creation of a new application and authenticating it with a user. It does not appear in the user Development section.
Here's the documentation for the api:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/intro/
You essentially need to run the following commands:
### test connection
curl https://mastodon.example/endpoint?q=test&n=0
### create app
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/apps/
this will return secrets, write them down!
curl -X POST -F 'client_name=Bot3' -F 'redirect_uris=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob' -F 'scopes=read write push' -F 'website=https://myapp.example' https://mastodon.example.com/api/v1/apps
### verify the app works
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/apps/#verify_credentials
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer ****' https://mastodon.example.com/api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials
### authorize a user
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/oauth/#authorize and https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/authorized/#login you will have to input this in a browser then login and authorize the app, it will provide an authorization code
https://mastodon.example/oauth/authorize
?client_id=CLIENT_ID
&scope=read+write+push
&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
&response_type=code
### obtain token
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/oauth/#token
curl -X POST -F 'grant_type=authorization_code' -F 'client_id=\*' -F 'client_secret=\*' -F 'redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob' -F 'code=\*' https://mastodon.example.com/oauth/token
### make your first post
curl -i -H 'Authorization: Bearer ***' -d 'status=Hello World!' https://mastodon.example.com/api/v1/statuses
To find this out took me hours and hours. I'm writing it down to spare you time.
## automation
the oauth part will me mostly automated at some point but rn it is still manual. feel free to help automate it.
## docker
you can use the dockerfile and docker-compose.yml i provided. I will at some point push a docker image which is ready to use. Until then you will have to build the image first. Here's how:
git clone https://code.kraftw3rk.de/alex/quote-bot.git
git switch rest-bot
touch quotes.txt #(fill with quotes, one per line, no longer than your instance character limit!)
mv .env-example .env #(insert the user token where the stars are!)
mv docker-compose-example.yml docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
Have fun!
