'Channel not allowed' when sending requests

[IaZ001]

Hello,

I have just installed Botdarr using Docker Compose. My environment variables seem to be correct, but when I try to send commands to the channel, such as '!Help', I receive this message: '2023-Jul-04 11:10:52 AM [pool-5-thread-1] WARN TelegramLog - Channel test not allowed, check properties file'

Can you help me resolve this issue?

@IaZ001 can you post your compose file with secrets omitted?

If you follow https://github.com/shayaantx/botdarr/wiki/Install-Telegram-Bot

Your telegram private channel setting is using a url, channel ids are not urls, they are the number in the url

https://t.me/c/1156742262/2

1156742262 => channel id

When I put the numbers instead of the URL, I get an error message and the container doesn't start.

@IaZ001 sorry see the rest of the documentation

Your actual telegram channels your bot can respond in. This should be a list containing the name and id of the channel, i.e., CHANNEL_NAME:CHANNEL_ID to get the channel id, right click any post in private channel and copy post link you should see something like this, https://t.me/c/1408146664/63 the id is between c// example: plex-channel1:id1,plex-channel2:id2

This is for the TELEGRAM_PRIVATE_CHANNELS field

[IaZ001]

That's exaclty what i've done ...

[shayaantx]

@IaZ001 post an updated snippet of your docker compose with the new config

[shayaantx]

@IaZ001 can you see above request?

[shayaantx]

@IaZ001 please reopen if you still need help, see below example of what it should be

TELEGRAM_PRIVATE_CHANNELS: <channel-name>:<channel-id>
