## ⚙ Quick Setup



1. Create Telegram bot using [BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) and get your `token`

2. [Get your Telegram API Keys](https://my.telegram.org/apps) (`api_id` and `api_hash`)

3. [Find your Telegram User ID](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32683992/find-out-my-own-user-id-for-sending-a-message-with-telegram-api)

4. Copy `app_bot/config-example.yml` to `app_bot/config.yml`

5. Write `token`, `api_id`, `api_hash` to `app_bot/config.yml` by changing respective

   placeholders

6. Write your Telegram user or group ID to the `allowed_users` -> `id` by replacing dummy

   value and change `forward_group_id` value if you want to forward the video to

   some group/channel when upload is enabled. Bot should be added to the group/channel to be able to send messages.

7. Change download media type for the user/group: `AUDIO`, `VIDEO` or `AUDIO_VIDEO`

   in `app_bot/config.yml`'s variable `download_media_type`. Default `VIDEO`

8. If you want your downloaded audio/video to be uploaded back to the Telegram, set `upload_video_file` config variable 

   for your user/group in the `app_bot/config.yml` to `True`

9. Media `STORAGE_PATH` environment variable is located in

   the `envs/.env_worker` file. By default, it's `/filestorage` path inside the

   container. What you want is to map the real path to this inside

   the `docker-compose.yml` file for `worker` service, e.g. if you're on Windows, next

   strings mean container path `/filestorage` is mapped to real `D:/Videos` so your

   videos will be saved to your `Videos` folder.

   ```yml

     worker:

       volumes:

         - "D:/Videos:/filestorage"

   ```

10. Change application's `LOG_LEVEL` in `envs/.env_common` to `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, `CRITICAL` if needed



## 🏃 Run



```bash

# Build base image

docker compose build base-image



# Build and run all services in detached mode

docker compose up --build -d -t 0 && docker compose logs --tail 100 -f



# Stop all services

docker compose stop -t 0

```



Your telegram bot should send you a startup message:

`✨  started, paste a video URL(s) to start download` and that's it. After

pasting video URL(s) bot will send you appropriate message whether they were downloaded

or something went wrong.



## 💻 Advanced setup



1. If you want to change `yt-dlp` download options, go to the `app_worker/ytdl_opts`

   directory, copy content from `default.py` to `user.py` and modify as you wish by

   checking [available options](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/blob/master/yt_dlp/YoutubeDL.py#L180)

   .

2. Default max simultaneous video downloads by worker service is 2. Change

   the `MAX_SIMULTANEOUS_DOWNLOADS` variable in `envs/.env_worker` to desired value but

   keep in mind that default mounted volume size is 7168m (7GB) in `docker-compose.yml`

   so it may be not enough if you download a lot of large videos at once.

3. `yt-dlp` will try to download video thumbnail if it exists. In other case Worker

   service (particularly the FFmpeg process) will make a JPEG thumbnail from the

   video. It's needed when you choose to upload the video to the Telegram chat. By

   default, it will try to make it on the 10th second of the video, but if the video is

   shorter, it will make it on `video length / 2` time point because the FFmpeg process

   will error out. Change the `THUMBNAIL_FRAME_SECOND` variable if needed in

   the `envs/.env_worker` file.

4. Max upload file size for non-premium Telegram user is 2GB (2147483648 bytes) which is

   reflected in the example config `app_bot/config-example.yml`. If the configured user

   is the premium user, you're allowed to upload files up to 4GB (4294967296 bytes) and

   can change the default value stored in the `upload_video_max_file_size` config

   variable.

5. If the website you want to download from requires authentication you can use your cookies by putting them into

   the `app_worker/cookies/cookies.txt` file in the Netscape format.

6. If your country has an [Alpine Linux Mirror](https://mirrors.alpinelinux.org/), you can speed up the image builds by:

   1. Creating `apk_mirrors` text file and putting there your mirror urls, for example for Ukraine they are:

      ```

      https://alpine.astra.in.ua/v3.17/main

      https://alpine.astra.in.ua/v3.17/community

      ```

   2. Adding `COPY apk_mirrors /etc/apk/repositories` to the third line in `base.Dockerfile`:

      ```dockerfile

      FROM python:3.11-alpine



      COPY apk_mirrors /etc/apk/repositories

      ...

      ```

   3. Rebuild the images.



## 🛑 Failed download



If your URL can't be downloaded for some reason, you will see a message with error

## Access



- **API**: default port is `1984` and no auth. Port can be changed

  in `docker-compose.yml`

- **RabbitMQ**: default credentials are located in `envs/.env_common`

- **PostgreSQL**: default credentials are located in `envs/.env_common`.
