# telegram-to-rss
Generate an RSS feed from your Telegram chats. You digital minimalism friend.
## How to get the most of it
> Digital minimalism is a strategy to help people optimize their use of technology and keep from being overwhelmed by it.
1. Create a separate Telegram account to subscribe to various channels available only as Telegram feeds (yep, they exist!)
2. Convert all of them to RSS feeds using this app
3. Be in power of your information consumption with a single place to get it - your RSS reader!## Quick start
### Docker
1. Get `api_id` an `api_hash` at https://my.telegram.org
2. Create a docker compose file and replace the environment variables (see [Configuration](#configuration) for details)
```yaml
services:
telegram-to-rss:
image: aigoncharov/telegram-to-rss:latest
container_name: telegram-to-rss
restart: always
environment:
- TG_API_ID=REPLACE_ME
- TG_API_HASH=REPLACE_ME
- TG_PASSWORD=REPLACE_ME
- BASE_URL=REPLACE_ME
ports:
- 3042:3042
volumes:
- data:/datavolumes:
data: nullnetworks: {}
```
3. Run `docker compose up`
4. Go to `http://127.0.0.1:3042`
5. Scan the QR code with your Telegram app
1. If there is an AUTH_ERROR, restart the docker compose stack
6. Give it a few seconds to log in
7. Get redirected to a page with a list of all your chats available as RSS feeds.
1. If the list is incomplete, give it a few minutes on the first start to generate the RSS feeds.
2. Subsequent updates should be much faster!### Bare bone Python
1. `pip install telegram-to-rss`
2. Get `api_id` an `api_hash` at https://my.telegram.org
3. Run in your terminal `TG_API_ID=api_id TG_API_HASH=api_hash BASE_URL=server_url python telegram_to_rss`
1. Example: `TG_API_ID=00000000 TG_API_HASH=7w8sdsd3g334r333refdwd3qqrwe BASE_URL=example.myserver.com python telegram_to_rss`
4. If you have 2FA enabled on your Telegram account set `TG_PASSWORD` with your account password as well: `TG_API_ID=api_id TG_API_HASH=api_hash TG_PASSWORD=your_password BASE_URL=server_url python telegram_to_rss`
5. Go to `http://127.0.0.1:5000`
6. Scan the QR code with your Telegram app
1. If there is an AUTH_ERROR, restart `telegram-to-rss`
7. Give it a few seconds to log in
8. Get redirected to a page with a list of all your chats available as RSS feeds.
1. If the list is incomplete, give it a few minutes on the first start to generate the RSS feeds.
2. Subsequent updates should be much faster!## Configuration
Available environment variables (\* marks required ones):
- \* `TG_API_ID` - api_id from https://my.telegram.org
- \* `TG_API_HASH` - api_hash from https://my.telegram.org
- \* `BASE_URL` - address of your server that hosts this app, used in RSS feeds to correctly set image addresses
