Telegram triggered download and re-auth not working

[papalozarou]

Hey, have set Telegram up, and I get notifications of the container starting, downloading etc. but I can't seem to make it work for triggering downloads and re-authentication. It seems to always trigger a reauth with an error, even with just a <USERNAME>. What am i doing wrong?

Logs from when Telegram command is sent:

This is the relevant bit of the config file:

telegram_bot_initialised=true
telegram_chat_id="<CHAT_ID>"
telegram_http=false
telegram_polling=true
telegram_server=
telegram_token="<TOKEN>"

And this is the relevant bit of the start up log:

An update. Left to go to the office and it appears that this has deleted both the <USERNAME_icloudcom> and <USERNAME_icloudcom>.session> files for both containers in the docker compose project, even though they have different usernames. I'm now in a situation where both containers are restarting every half hour (as the second container is set to delay sync by 30 mins).

Seems to be a permissions issue. Likely related to a possible bug relating to setting variables in the config file, which is where the config is taken from. Try again with latest version.

Thanks for the reply. I seem to have fixed it for triggering a backup at least, as i haven't tried auth yet.

I the only changed i made was adding a hostname and user to the docker compose for each container

Just make sure when you auth, you don't get the MFA code wrong, or let it time out. It will result in you needing to re-initialise the container from the terminal prompt.

Also means your container will ping telegram every 10s looking for responses and not revert back to 60s, so you'll see additional traffic.

Thanks. Will bear that in mind.
