## Tube Telegram Rider
[](https://github.com/namuan/tele-tube-rider/blob/master/LICENSE) [](https://twitter.com/deskriders_twt)
Telegram Bot 🤖 to download videos from Youtube, Reddit and Twitter and send it back to you.
It uses [youtube-dl](https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/index.html) so videos from any [supported websites](https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html) can be used.
✅ Support Youtube playlists along with a number of other websites.
### Clone project
```bash
git clone https://github.com/namuan/tele-tube-rider.git
```
### Running it locally
To run it, you'll need to create a new bot using [@botfather](https://t.me/botfather).
Note down the *bot token* once your bot is registered.
Copy `env.cfg.sample` to `env.cfg` and set the token value for `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` variable.
```bash
cp env.cfg.sample env.cfg
```
Then we'll setup a local python virtual environment and install required dependencies.
Make sure you have `python3` installed before running the following command.
```bash
make setup
```
We also need to set up `ffmpeg` which is used to convert Video -> MP3.
On a mac, it is a single command using `brew`.
```bash
brew install ffmpeg
```
You'll find [instructions](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html) to set up on other platforms.
Next, run the bot
```bash
make run
```
If previous commands worked then this will start the bot.
Try adding your new bot on Telegram and send a youtube video.
Here is a good one to try.

### Self-Hosting
Although running locally is fine for testing, you may want to run it in background to avoid any disruptions.
Here is a quick guide for setting it up on a VPS or RaspberryPi (Once you get past installing ffmpeg on it 😡).
**Step 1: Setup VPS or use existing server(Raspberry Pi)**
Start a new VPS with **Ubuntu** on [Vultr](https://www.vultr.com/?ref=7306977) (Affiliate Link) or [DigitalOcean](https://m.do.co/c/da51ec30754c) (Affiliate Link).
☕️ Wait for it to come up online.
> 🧹 Remember: Clean up - Make sure you delete this server if not used to avoid incurring cost.
**Step 2: Checking connectivity**
Once you have the server running, we'll try to connect to it.
It is better to set up a dedicated host entry as below.
Some commands in the `Makefile` assumes that the host entry matches the project directory.
> 👉 Tip: Splitting SSH Config - I used to use [poet](https://github.com/awendt/poet) to split ssh files but from [OpenSSH 7.3](http://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config#Include) it supports the `Include` directive to allow multiple ssh config files.
> It makes it easy and manageable for working with many SSH entries
```
Host tele-tube-rider
User root
HostName xx.xx.xx.xx
Port 22
IdentitiesOnly yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/dfiles
```
So if you have the above entry under ~/.ssh, running the following command will try to connect and ssh into the server.
```bash
$ make ssh
```
Make sure this works before continuing, and note that you may have to enter the Password from the VPS provider (Vultr/DigitalOcean).
**Step 3: Installing dependencies**
We also need to install a few dependencies if they are missing from the server.
The following command will take care of that.
```bash
# ssh into server
$ make server
```
**Step 4: Starting up Bot**
Again, we'll use the make command to start the bot in a screen session.
```bash
make start
```
The bot is running once the command finishes.
Try sending another Youtube video to see it in action.
**Step 5: Testing if Bot is running**
If there is anything wrong, you can see what is going on the server.
```bash
# ssh
make ssh
# check screen sessions
screen -ls
# attach to existing screen session
screen -x tele-tube-rider
# detach from a session
Ctrl + A then D
```
Make sure that you detach from screen session before leaving the server to keep the bot running.
**Step 6: [Optional] Updating Bot**
Run the following command from your local machine, and it should update the bot and restart the session automatically.
```bash
make start
```
