Telegram WebDAV Integration Bot

A Telegram bot that scrape from chats images, videos and files and send them to a WebDAV server.

An already built container image is available on Docker Hub.

Usage

First, you'll need to setup a bot on telegram https://core.telegram.org/bots#3-how-do-i-create-a-bot.

After you generated the token, you can run the software via podman/docker (or your preferred container runtime):

podman run \
    -e TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="<my-sercet-token>" \
    -e WEBDAV_PATH_URL "<my webdav address: ex https://webdav.local/myfolder>" \
    -e TELEGRAM_BOT_CHAT_IDS="[<chatid1>[;<chatid2>;<...>;<chatidn>]]" \
    -e WEBDAV_USERNAME "<webdav-username>" \
    -e WEBDAV_PASSWORD "<webdav-password>" \
    -e TELEGRAM_FILE_NAMING_CONVENTION "date+type" \
    -e TELEGRAM_FILE_NAMING_INCLUDE_EXTENSION "1" \
    -e ENABLE_DEBUG "(0|1)" \
    kaelk/telegram-webdav-integration-bot

• ENABLE_DEBUG by default is "0", i you do not need debug you can omit the env
• if your WebDAV service doesn't need authn, omit envs WEBDAV_USERNAME and WEBDAV_PASSWORD
• also TELEGRAM_BOT_CHAT_IDS is optional, however this means that EVERYONE can send a message to the bot and they will ALL be processed
• TELEGRAM_FILE_NAMING_CONVENTION and TELEGRAM_FILE_NAMING_INCLUDE_EXTENSION are for generating names for attachments that doesn't have one:
  • TELEGRAM_FILE_NAMING_CONVENTION: which method use to generate file name, valid values:
    • file-unique-id: use telegram file unique id
    • random-uuid: use a random UUID4
    • date: use datetime
    • date+type (default): use datetime ad append the file type ("image", "video"...)
  • TELEGRAM_FILE_NAMING_INCLUDE_EXTENSION (default '1') try to automatically guess a valid extension
