No-Context Mashina Twitter Bot

Step 0 - prerequisites

• A Twitter account, with developer account enabled
• Setup an app and generate CLIENT_ID & CLIENT_SECRET
• Generate SECRET_KEY, SECRET_IV & ENCRYPTION_METHOD to be used in crypto.createCipheriv()

Step 1 - configuration

create a .env file

REDIRECT_URL=http://localhost:23001/redirect
CLIENT_ID=
CLIENT_SECRET=

SECRET_KEY=
SECRET_IV=
ENCRYPTION_METHOD=

Step 2 - Generate refresh token

You need to run (one time) an authorization flow via browser

1. Start the server for the redirect flow

npm run auth

2. Go to:

http://localhost:23001/auth

3. Authorize app

Refresh token will be saved (encrypted) to a local store

Step 3 - Build docker image

npm run build:image

Step 4 - Start docker

(replace XXX with real values)

docker run -d -e CLIENT_ID=XXX -e CLIENT_SECRET=XXX -e SECRET_KEY=XXX -e SECRET_IV=XXX -e ENCRYPTION_METHOD=XXX -v no-context-mashina:/usr/app/ext --name no-context-mashina --restart unless-stopped no-context-mashina

Step 5 - (one-time) Copy refresh-token store to container

npm run copy-tokens-to-container
