Telegram bot to convert medias in the format required to be used as Telegram stickers

How to use the bot

You can use the bot going here: start it, and you can now send it the medias you need to convert.

Based on what you send, Stickerify will answer the following:

the converted media, if you sent a supported file (images, gifs, videos, and existing Telegram stickers are supported) that needed conversion
no file, if you sent a media already suiting Telegram's requirements
an error message, if you sent either an unsupported or a corrupted file
an informative message for any message without a file

    flowchart LR
    A[User] -->|Message| B([Stickerify])
    B -->|Request contains a file| C{Is file supported?}
    click B "https://t.me/StickerifyImageBot" _blank
    style B fill: #2889ba, stroke: #e0e0e0, color: #e0e0e0
    C -->|Yes| D{Does file need conversion?}
    C -->|No| E(Error message)
    B -->|Request has only text| F{Is help or start command?}
    F -->|Yes| G(Show bot usage)
    F -->|No| H(About message)
    D -->|Yes| J(Convert file)
    D -->|No| K(No conversion)

Import the project inside your IDE as a Gradle project
Ensure your IDE is correctly configured to use a Java 23 (or higher) JDK

How to run the bot locally

After you successfully set up the project, you will have to go through the following steps:

Chat with BotFather and ask it to create a new bot
Copy the token it provided you and either:
- set it as the value of a new environment variable named STICKERIFY_TOKEN
- use it as the value passed to the super(botToken) constructor inside the class Stickerify
Install FFmpeg
Run the Main class to start the bot, it will be now able to answer messages in Telegram

How to launch the bot using Docker

Install Docker
Prepare the Docker image either:
- moving into the project folder and building the image with the command:
```
docker build -t rob93c/stickerify .
```
- pulling the image from Docker Hub:
```
docker pull rob93c/stickerify
```
Now you just need to run the Docker image passing the token ({{TOKEN}}) retrieved from BotFather:
```
docker run -e "STICKERIFY_TOKEN={{TOKEN}}" rob93c/stickerify
```
