🔒 Security

TeleDesk is built with security as a priority:

• User whitelist — Only Telegram user IDs you add in ALLOWED_IDS can control the bot
• Silent rejection — Unauthorized users get no response (no feedback to attackers)
• Secure config — Config stored in ~/.teledesk/config.env with chmod 600
• Audit logging — Every command is logged with timestamp, user, and arguments
• Confirmation dialogs — Destructive actions (shutdown, delete) require inline confirmation
• Token protection — Token is never logged or displayed in full

Add multiple authorized users:

teledesk adduser   # Interactive
# or:
# Edit ~/.teledesk/config.env:
# TELEDESK_ALLOWED_IDS="111222333,444555666"
