Ollama Telegram Bot

Ollama Telegram Bot is a Python-based Telegram bot that enables users to interact with locally hosted large language models through a familiar messaging interface. The project is designed to provide a simple but configurable way to bring AI chat capabilities into Telegram, supporting both individual and group conversations. It includes access control features such as user whitelists and admin roles, allowing fine-grained control over who can interact with the bot and manage its behavior. The bot connects to a local or remote Ollama server, enabling users to run models on their own hardware while maintaining full privacy. It supports Docker-based deployment, making it easy to set up alongside an Ollama instance with optional GPU acceleration. Configuration is handled through environment variables, allowing customization of models, timeouts, and interaction rules. Overall, ollama-telegram provides a lightweight and extensible solution for deploying personal or team-based AI assistants.
