This repo will allow one to build [ReVanced](https://github.com/revanced/) apps automatically and post it to a telegram channel to access and possibly share the builds with friends. It uses [Gotify](https://gotify.net), [ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh) or [telegram.sh](https://github.com/fabianonline/telegram.sh) to send messages and [telegram-upload](https://github.com/Nekmo/telegram-upload) to upload files (optionally, disabled out by default). Make sure that `Java >=17` is installed and selected as default.

## How to use ## How to use
Just run `./build_revanced <working-directory> (force/clean/experimental/checkonly/buildonly)`. Might be a good idea to set it up to run periodically using cron. I currently use the following in a user crontab to run it everyday at 6 AM: Just run `./build_revanced <working-directory> (force/clean/experimental/checkonly/buildonly)`. Might be a good idea to set it up to run periodically. There are a few ways of doing it.
``` 1. Just drop it inside `/etc/cron.daily/`.
1. To make it run at a specific time (6AM in the example) using `cron`, put this in your `crontab`:
```crontab
0 6 * * * <full-script-location> <full-working-directory-location> 0 6 * * * <full-script-location> <full-working-directory-location>
``` ```
1. The exact same thing as in 2 can be achieved using `systemd` timers instead. Create the following files.
```toml
/etc/systemd/system/revanced-builder.service
---------------------------------------------
[Unit]
Description=Automatically build new builds of ReVanced
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
User=<user>
Group=<group>
ExecStart=_JAVA_OPTIONS='-Xmx512m' <full-script-location> <full-working-directory-location>
```
```toml
/etc/systemd/system/revanced-builder.timer
-------------------------------------------
[Unit]
Description=Automatically build new builds of ReVanced
[Timer]
OnCalendar=*-*-* 6:00:00
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
```
and then enable the timer using
```bash
sudo systemctl enable --now revanced-builder.timer
```
