ClojureBot is a Telegram bot that lets you evaluate your own Clojure expressions, anywhere, anytime.

You'll need to get your own Telegram API key.

ClojureBot uses Environ, so you should set your api-key environment variable to your own key.

If you are running the bot using leiningen, you can add your key to your profiles.clj file, like so:

{:dev
 {:env {:api-key "your-api-key"}}}

ClojureBot also uses clojail. From the README:

Because clojail employs the JVM's built in sandboxing, you'll need to have a ~/.java.policy file to define permissions for your own code. If you don't do this, you'll get security exceptions. I've included a very liberal example.policy file that you can just copy over to ~/.java.policy.

Then, just lein run inside your project folder.

All the clojure code you pass to the bot is evaluated in a sandbox.

This specific implementation disallows the creation of defs and all filesystem and network access. Long-running processes will be terminated (issuing a Timeout Exception).

You can override this by changing the tester used in sandbox.clj.

Just change the clj-telegrambot-tester variable to include your preferred clojail tester.
