yt-dlp-bot

Simple and reliable YouTube Download Telegram Bot.

😂 Features

• Download videos from any yt-dlp supported website
• Trigger video download by sending link to the Telegram bot or by API call
• Upload downloaded videos to Telegram
• Track download tasks in the database or API
• Everything is run in Docker containers

⚙ Quick Setup

1. Create Telegram bot using BotFather and get your token.
2. Find your Telegram User ID here.
3. Copy bot/config-example.yml to bot/config.yml.
4. Write both token and User ID to bot/config.yaml by changing respective placeholders.
5. Check the default environment variables in envs directory and change if needed (especially default credentials)..
6. Video storage path (STORAGE_PATH environment variable) is located in envs/.env_common 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.
7. If you want your downloaded video to be uploaded back to Telegram, set UPLOAD_VIDEO_FILE environment variable in .env_common file to True.

  worker:
    ...
    volumes:
      - "D:/Videos:/filestorage"

🏃 Run

Simple as docker-compose up -d.

Your telegram bot should send you a startup message: <YOUR_BOT_NAME> bot started, paste video URL to start download and that's it. After pasting video URL bot will send you appropriate message whether it was downloaded or something went wrong.

Advanced setup

1. If you want to change yt-dlp download options, go to the worker/ytdl_opts directory, copy content from default.py to user.py and modify as you wish by checking official documentation.
