This is a bot for the Telegram messaging service, with the purpose of downloading and saving media from tweets to a local machine (thanks to gallery-dl). It is intended to be run within a containerised solution.
The following environment variables are used by the bot, and should be passed into the container's environment when run:
T_TOKEN- The Telegram Bot API token to use. Should be a String,"12345:AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD"ALLOWED_IDS- The Telegram user IDs to accept messages from. This is required, as without it, anyone who finds your bot username on Telegram will be able to send a link, and download media to your server. Should be a comma separated String of IDs,"123456,654321"
LOG_LEVEL- The lowest level of logging to output, as a String. Can be one of the following:"debug","info","warn","error", or"critical". Defaults to"info"
A valid Twitter cookie file allows gallery-dl to access the same tweets you can see. Without this, it will only be able to access what is publicly visible. A file named twitter_cookies.txt should be present in the top directory.
gallery-dl accepts a wide range of configuration options. An example gallery-dl.conf file is included, but this can be adjusted to your requirements (See gallery-dl configuration for more).
