Telegram bot for messages, task notifications & system management.

What can Hermes do?

Hermes is a Python library that provides a Telegram bot interface for your computer. It is capable of sending messages, files, or images to a specific user, either via terminal commands or inside Python scripts. Additionally, it can run as a server that interacts with specific commands received through the Telegram bot.

In detail, the functionalities of Hermes are developed around three core blocks:

• CLI
  • send a text message
  • send images and files
  • send a message after the completion of a specific command/process (which can be carried out in background)
• Bot server - A user can interact with the bot to execute specific commands:
  • poweroff / reboot your system
  • retrieve power statistics
  • retrieve network status
  • custom functions implemented by the user
• Tasks
  • create a Python script using the Task module of Hermes, in order to ...
    • ... receive notifications (waypoint-based) to keep track of the script execution
    • ... send images and Matplotlib plots through the bot
    • ... create a private log file that can be retrieved through the bot server
  • failsafe: an error in Hermes does not stop your code

Requirements

• Linux system
• Python 3.8 or above
  • the following packages are required: pyTelegramBotAPI termcolor

Documentation

I tried to include as much as possible in the package documentation. Follow through the Setup section to install and configure Hermes. The rest of the documentation should help with the usage.
