A Telegram Daemon (not a bot) for file downloading automation
If you have got an Internet connected computer or NAS and you want to automate file downloading from Telegram channels, this daemon is for you.
Telegram bots are limited to 20Mb file size downloads. So I wrote this agent or daemon to allow bigger downloads (limited to 1.5GB by Telegram APIs).
Installation
You need Python3 (tested in 3.5).
Install dependencies by running this command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
(If you don't want to install cryptg
and its dependencies, you just need to install telethon
)
Obtain your own api id: https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id
Usage
You need to configure these values:
Environment Variable | Command Line argument | Description | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
TELEGRAM_DAEMON_API_ID |
--api-id |
api_id from https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id | |
TELEGRAM_DAEMON_API_HASH |
--api-hash |
api_hash from https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id | |
TELEGRAM_DAEMON_DEST |
--dest |
Destenation path for downloading files | /telegram-downloads |
TELEGRAM_DAEMON_CHANNEL |
--channel |
Channel id to download from it |
You can define them as Environment Variables, or put them as a command line arguments, for example:
python telegram-download-daemon.py --api-id <your-id> --api-hash <your-hash> --channel <channel-number>
Docker
docker pull alfem/telegram-download-daemon
When we use the TelegramClient
method, it requires us to interact with the Console
to give it our phone number and confirm with a security code.
To do this, when using Docker, you need to interactively run the container for the first time.
When you use docker-compose
, the .session
file, where the login is stored is kept in Volume outside the container. Therefore, when using docker-compose you are required to:
$ docker-compose run --rm telegram-download-daemon
# Interact with the console to authenticate yourself.
# See the message "Signed in successfully as {youe name}"
# Close the container
$ docker-compose up -d
See the sessions
volume in the docker-compose.yml file.
