Steps​

  1. Run wechaty-puppet-padlocal on a virtual machine
  2. Verify that the API is successfully registered
  3. Run local python-wechaty-getting-started
  4. Scan code login

Step 1 : Run wechaty-puppet-padlocal​

You will need a domestic public network IP+Token (please register with the administrator) to make wechaty-puppet take effect in the virtual machine part. For the trial or free plan, you can choose Alibaba Cloud or Huawei Cloud or GCP. It is a pity that Google does not have a domestic IP. , or you can also play gcp's k8s by the way, suggest that you still use domestic resources.

Step 1

Just register a ubuntu20.04, pay attention to the security group to release port 8788. Run the following command in ubuntu cmdline.

apt update
apt install docker.io
docker pull wechaty/wechaty
export WECHATY_PUPPET_PADLOCAL_TOKEN=puppet_padlocal_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
export WECHATY_PUPPET_SERVER_PORT=8788
export WECHATY_PUPPET=wechaty-puppet-padlocal
export WECHATY_LOG=verbose
docker run \
  --rm \
  -ti \
  -e WECHATY_LOG \
  -e WECHATY_PUPPET \
  -e WECHATY_PUPPET_PADLOCAL_TOKEN \
  -e WECHATY_PUPPET_SERVER_PORT \
  -e WECHATY_TOKEN="$WECHATY_PUPPET_PADLOCAL_TOKEN" \
  -p "$WECHATY_PUPPET_SERVER_PORT:$WECHATY_PUPPET_SERVER_PORT" \
  wechaty/wechaty

You can issue an instruction to check whether it is running normally, as shown in the figure :

netstat -ntlp
docker container ls

Step 1-terminal

You can telnet the virtual machine IP: 8788, simple debugging will not work. (Optional) You can change docker run to docker-compose by running, and the virtual machine can grow up automatically after it crashes.

Step 2 : verify hostie token​

Visit this link to check whether your token is successfully registered, if not, please go back to step 1.

Good: {"ip":"47.119.129.29","port":8788}

No Good: {"ip":"0.0.0.0","port":0}

Step 3 : Run python locally​

python-wechaty-getting-started you need Python3.7+

Run the following cmd :

git clone https://github.com/wechaty/python-wechaty-getting-started
cd python-wechaty-getting-started
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
export WECHATY_PUPPET=wechaty-puppet-service
export WECHATY_PUPPET_SERVICE_TOKEN=your_token_at_here
python3 examples/ding-dong-bot.py
