Telegram Bot API on Go. API v4.4 (29 July 2019) is supported. All methods and types represent their alter ego from Telegram Bot API so you would expect what you see in the official documentation. And you don't need to study the new API to use this library.

- Find your IP
curl ifconfig.co
-
Use nip.io to pretend you have a domain, for example, "app.X.X.X.X.nip.io"
-
Generate a certificate, replace X.X.X.X with your IP:
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 \
-new -nodes -x509 \
-days 3650 \
-out cert.pem \
-keyout key.pem \
-subj "/O=Organization/CN=app.X.X.X.X.nip.io"
- Run server
