tgfilestream

A Telegram bot that can stream Telegram files to users over HTTP.

Setup

Install tgfilestream package

pip install tgfilestream

Create a text file to store environment variables example (secrets.env):

TG_API_ID=1234567
TG_API_HASH=66a73ed2f8a80f52488dfdb3b128bae6
HOST=127.0.0.1
PORT=8080
PUBLIC_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080
TG_BOT_FATHER_TOKEN=1234567890:b93dcfa3120fa82350e2bc72df83380e

Start the bot and server using the following command

tgfilestream --env [path to the text file]

example:

tgfilestream --env secrets.env

Note

A reverse proxy is recommended to add TLS. When using a reverse proxy, keep HOST as-is, but add the publicly accessible URL to PUBLIC_URL. The URL should include the protocol, e.g. https://example.com.
