Aashii (Telegram bridge bot)

This bot is a fork of https://github.com/j-arun-mani/Aashii.

Initial setup

• Copy data/setup/bot-config.example.json to data/setup/bot-config.json.
• Customize all user-facing text, command descriptions, and image URLs in that file.
• Optionally set BOT_CONFIG_PATH to load config from a different location.

Deployment guides

• Host on Oracle Cloud Always Free

Admin moderation commands

• /listusers blocked — list all blocked users.
• /listusers approved — list users whose join requests were approved.
• /listusers declined — list users whose join requests were declined.
• /listusers all — print blocked, approved, and declined sections together.

If you are upgrading an existing deployment, run data/migrate.sql so the users.decision_status column exists before using these filters.
