flags. The default config file is "/usr/local/etc/telegram-uploader-bot.cfg".

flag followed by the path to your config file:
telegram-uploader-bot -c /path/to/custom_config.cfg
Example configuration:
telegram:
token: "my-telegram-bot-token"
uploads:
- directory: "/path/to/watch/dir"
files:
- "*.jpg" # file name match by the mask is case insensitive
document: false # set to true to upload files as documents (without reencoding)
min_size: 0 # min file size limit to upload (default is 0 - no limit)
max_size: 50 MB # max file size limit to upload (default is 50 MB)
chat: 1234567
tags:
plain:
- "work"
- "important"
regexp:
- ".*/(?P<name>.*)\\.jpg" # matched groups will be used as tags prefixed by group names
expr:
- "(file.Size() > 1024 * 1024) ? 'big' : ''" # tag files bigger than 1 megabyte
