Requirements

We need at least a telegram Bot and a Python3 environment to run this project.

Don't worry, you can easily get a telegram bot from @BotFather.

Python3 environment is not a big deal. If you can use Docker, you are basicly a savebot master!

Run savebot in Docker

If you got your BOT_TOKEN, your can use savebot to get your TARGET_CHAT_ID:

docker run -d \
  --rm \
  --name savebot \
  -e MY_TOKEN=<BOT_TOKEN> \
  iskoldt/savebot:latest

Then send anything to your bot, you will get your TARGET_CHAT_ID

Run this:

docker run -d \
  --name savebot \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -e MY_TOKEN=<BOT_TOKEN> \
  -e TARGET_CHAT_ID=<TARGET_CHAT_ID> \
  -v <yourdir>:/savebot/messages \
  iskoldt/savebot:latest

Telegram bot API is limited on file size, so we need MTProto API, get it here Obtaining api_id

Now you have API_ID and API_HASH, congrats!🎉

You can use savebot to save any file!

docker run -d \
  --name savebot \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -e MY_API_ID=<API_ID> \
  -e MY_API_HASH=<API_HASH> \
  -e MY_TOKEN=<BOT_TOKEN> \
  -e TARGET_CHAT_ID=<TARGET_CHAT_ID> \
  -v <yourdir>:/savebot/messages \
  iskoldt/savebot:latest

Run savebot in Python3 environment

Download savebot from github and Get your TARGET_CHAT_ID:

git clone https://github.com/iskoldt-X/savebot.git
cd savebot
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

#keep the word empty if you don't have it
export TARGET_CHAT_ID=empty
export MY_TOKEN=<BOT_TOKEN>
export MY_API_ID=empty
export MY_API_HASH=empty

python3 savebot.py

Then send anything to your bot, you will get your TARGET_CHAT_ID

export TARGET_CHAT_ID=<your TARGET_CHAT_ID>
python3 savebot.py
