Executing command on remote server fails

[admin]

You have a separate device that runs your Lua script. You can create a TCP server that forwards messages.

Server code (change token and chat_id as needed):

Code:

require('socket')
require('ssl.https')

token = 'token' -- your token
chat_id = '1234567' -- your chat id

function telegram(message)
  local url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot' .. token .. '/sendMessage'
  local data = 'chat_id=' .. chat_id .. '&text=' .. socket.url.escape(message)

  return ssl.https.request(url, data)
end

server = socket.bind('*', 8000)

while true do
  client = server:accept()
  client:settimeout(1)

  message, err = client:receive('*a')

  if message then
    telegram(message)
  end

  client:close()
end

Client code (change ip and message as needed):

Code:

require('socket')

ip = '127.0.0.1'
message = 'hello'

client = socket.tcp()
client:settimeout(5)

res, err = client:connect(ip, 8000)

if res then
  client:send(message)
end

client:close()
