tensorbot

Tensorboard as a Telegram Chatbot.

Getting started

Installation

The Bot should work with Python 2 & 3, but I'll assume you have pip installed.

• Install requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

Running tensorboard requires the packages tensorboard and tensorflow which are not in the requirements for this package.

Getting a token

• You obviously need a Telegram account
• Read https://core.telegram.org/bots
• Chat with @botfather to create a new bot and get a associated token
• Save token as file with name token in the root directory

Running tensorbot and tensorboard

• Start tensorboard, the default Tensorbot configuration assumes you are running it inside the dir containing the log file: tensorboard --logdir .
• Run python bot.py. Optional arguments are
  • --url: Tensorboard url, default http://localhost:6006
  • --token: Your telegram bot token, default is reading the token from a file called token
  • --run: Select the run you want to use Tensorbot with, defaults to .
