Ref #5 This commit adds the /getIP telegram command that allows asking for the current public IP that the bot has stored. As it is just a working version and the telegram API is not yet complete, this command is not yet really tested. I need to provide a more stable version of my Telegram API beforehand because as of now it's just a mess really, but this will do for now. |

Public IP tracker
Telegram bot that detects changes to the device's public IP. This is particularily useful when the device is handled by an ISP that does not provide a static public IP, such as a home device.
Features
Automatic public IP detection and monitoring
Upon startup, the current public IP is detected, and a status message is sent to a specific Telegram channel with the relevant information.
Insert example message here
When running as a daemon, the program automatically monitors the current public IP adress for changes. If the IP changes for some reason, then the new updated adress is sent to the specific Telegram channel.

On-demand public IP
The relevant channel is monitored during the program execution. This allows the user to send a command to the bot in order to get the current public IP on-demand.

Deploy
Configuration file
For now, the program is configured through a JSON configuration file. Here is a sample :
{
"telegram": {
"token": "<your_bot_token>",
"channel_id": 9999999
},
"polling_frequency": 5
}
Docker
You can use the provided Dockerfile to build your own image.
docker build -t public-ip-tracker .
You can then use the provided configuration file sample, and provide it to the program using the
/config volume
I might add support for environment variables in the future.
docker run -it -v /path/to/your/dir/with/json/file:/config public-ip-tracker
