⚙️ Configuration

Option 1: Environment Variables (Recommended)

export TELEGRAM_TOKEN="your_bot_token_here"
export TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="your_chat_id_here"

Option 2: Command Line Arguments

telewrapperz --token "your_token" --chat_id "your_chat_id" "your_command"

Option 3: Config File (YAML or INI)

Create a config file and pass it with --config:

YAML format (recommended):

telegram:
  token: your_bot_token_here
  chat_id: your_chat_id_here

settings:
  update_interval: 5.0  # seconds between dashboard updates
  enable_log: true      # save full output and enable the Telegram download button

INI format (legacy):

[Telegram]
token = your_bot_token_here
chat_id = your_chat_id_here

[Settings]
update_interval = 5.0
enable_log = true

You can also enable persistent log files with an environment variable:

export TELEWRAPPERZ_ENABLE_LOG=true

---

🚀 Usage

Basic Usage

# Run any command
telewrapperz "python train.py"

# Run a long-running script
telewrapperz "python -u my_training_script.py --epochs 100"

# Save the full output locally and show a "Download Log" button
telewrapperz --log "python -u my_training_script.py --epochs 100"

# Test your bot connection
telewrapperz --test

Progress Bar Demo

The repository includes a longer local demo that exercises different terminal output styles:

• plain log lines
• carriage-return spinners
• single-line progress bars
• training-style progress bars with metrics
• multi-line cursor-up dashboards
• Rich progress bars with multiple concurrent tasks

Run it directly:

python test/long_test.py

Run it through Telewrapperz:

telewrapperz --config config.yaml "python test/long_test.py"

For live progress demos, keep settings.update_interval low, for example 5.0. Higher values such as 60.0 reduce Telegram traffic but may make short commands appear stuck on the initial Starting... message until the next update or the final forced refresh.

📋 Command Line Options

Option	Description

💾 Log Files

Full log files are disabled by default unless you pass --log, set settings.enable_log: true, or export TELEWRAPPERZ_ENABLE_LOG=true.

When enabled, Telewrapperz writes logs to:

telewrapperz_log/telewrapperz_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.log

The Telegram dashboard also shows a Scarica Log / Download Log button while that file exists.

💡 Tips & Best Practices

• 🐍 Use python -u for unbuffered Python output
• 📝 The dashboard shows the last 50 lines of output
• ⏰ Dashboard updates every 5 seconds (configurable via update_interval)
• 🖥️ GPU stats only appear if NVIDIA GPU is detected
• 🔄 Use the Refresh button for immediate updates
• 📈 Progress bars (tqdm, rich, carriage-return bars, and simple cursor-up dashboards) are handled by the log buffer
• 🤖 Run only one active Telewrapperz polling instance per Telegram bot token. Telegram will raise Conflict: terminated by other getUpdates request if two wrappers poll the same bot at once, which can break inline buttons.
