[Release details](RELEASES.md). ![frames](.assets/download_success.png) ## Support the development - [Buy me a coffee](https://www.buymeacoffee.com/terletsky) - PayPal [![paypal](https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_SM.gif)](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=MA6RKYAZH9DSA) - Bitcoin wallet `14kMRS8SvfD2ydMSMEyAmefHV3Yynf9kAd` ## πŸ˜‚ Features * Download audio and videos from [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) supported sites to your storage. * Upload downloaded media to Telegram. * Interact with the bot in private or group chats. * Trigger video downloads via link to the API. * Track download tasks using the API. ## βš™ Quick Setup 1. Create Telegram bot using [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) and get your `token` 2. [Get your Telegram API Keys](https://my.telegram.org/apps) (`api_id` and `api_hash`) 3. [Find your Telegram User ID](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32683992/find-out-my-own-user-id-for-sending-a-message-with-telegram-api) 4. Copy `app_bot/config-example.yml` to `app_bot/config.yml` 5. Write `token`, `api_id`, `api_hash` to `app_bot/config.yml` by changing respective placeholders 6. Write your Telegram user or group ID to the `allowed_users` -> `id` by replacing dummy value and change `forward_group_id` value if you want to forward the video to some group/channel when upload is enabled. Bot should be added to the group/channel to be able to send messages. 7. Change download media type for the user/group: `AUDIO`, `VIDEO` or `AUDIO_VIDEO` in `app_bot/config.yml`'s variable `download_media_type`. Default `VIDEO` 8. If you want your downloaded audio/video to be uploaded back to the Telegram, set `upload_video_file` config variable for your user/group in the `app_bot/config.yml` to `True` 9. Media `STORAGE_PATH` environment variable is located in the `envs/.env_worker` file. By default, it's `/filestorage` path inside the container. What you want is to map the real path to this inside the `docker-compose.yml` file for `worker` service, e.g. if you're on Windows, next strings mean container path `/filestorage` is mapped to real `D:/Videos` so your videos will be saved to your `Videos` folder. ```yml worker: volumes: - "D:/Videos:/filestorage" ``` 10. Change application's `LOG_LEVEL` in `envs/.env_common` to `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, `CRITICAL` if needed ## πŸƒ Run ```bash # Build base image docker compose build base-image # Build and run all services in detached mode docker compose up --build -d -t 0 && docker compose logs --tail 100 -f # Stop all services docker compose stop -t 0 ``` Your telegram bot should send you a startup message: `✨ started, paste a video URL(s) to start download` and that's it. After pasting video URL(s) bot will send you appropriate message whether they were downloaded or something went wrong. ## πŸ’» Advanced setup 1. If you want to change `yt-dlp` download options, go to the `app_worker/ytdl_opts` directory, copy content from `default.py` to `user.py` and modify as you wish by checking [available options](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/YoutubeDL.py#L180) . 2. Default max simultaneous video downloads by worker service is 2. Change the `MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_DOWNLOADS` variable in `envs/.env_worker` to desired value but keep in mind that default mounted volume size is 7168m (7GB) in `docker-compose.yml` so it may be not enough if you download a lot of large videos at once. 3. `yt-dlp` will try to download video thumbnail if it exists. In other case Worker service (particularly the FFmpeg process) will make a JPEG thumbnail from the video. It's needed when you choose to upload the video to the Telegram chat. By default, it will try to make it on the 10th second of the video, but if the video is shorter, it will make it on `video length / 2` time point because the FFmpeg process will error out. Change the `THUMBNAIL_FRAME_SECOND` variable if needed in the `envs/.env_worker` file. 4. Max upload file size for non-premium Telegram user is 2GB (2147483648 bytes) which is reflected in the example config `app_bot/config-example.yml`. If the configured user is the premium user, you're allowed to upload files up to 4GB (4294967296 bytes) and can change the default value stored in the `upload_video_max_file_size` config variable. 5. If the website you want to download from requires authentication you can use your cookies by putting them into the `app_worker/cookies/cookies.txt` file in the Netscape format. 6. If your country has an [Alpine Linux Mirror](https://mirrors.alpinelinux.org/), you can speed up the image builds by: 1. Creating `apk_mirrors` text file and putting there your mirror urls, for example for Ukraine they are: ``` https://alpine.astra.in.ua/v3.17/main https://alpine.astra.in.ua/v3.17/community ``` 2. Adding `COPY apk_mirrors /etc/apk/repositories` to the third line in `base.Dockerfile`: ```dockerfile FROM python:3.11-alpine COPY apk_mirrors /etc/apk/repositories ... ``` 3. Rebuild the images. ## πŸ›‘ Failed download If your URL can't be downloaded for some reason, you will see a message with error details ![frames](.assets/download_failed.png) ## Access - **API**: default port is `1984` and no auth. Port can be changed in `docker-compose.yml` - **RabbitMQ**: default credentials are located in `envs/.env_common` - **PostgreSQL**: default credentials are located in `envs/.env_common`. ## API By default, API service will run on your `localhost` and `1984` port.
