Cannot use socks5 proxy

[Gowee]

Hi.

When I try to apply socks5 proxy with:

# Edit these lines:
proxy = {
    'proxy_type': 'socks5', # (mandatory) protocol to use (see above)
    'addr': '1.2.4.8',      # (mandatory) proxy IP address
    'port': 65535,           # (mandatory) proxy port number
    'username': 'foo',      # (optional) username if the proxy requires auth
    'password': 'bar',      # (optional) password if the proxy requires auth
    'rdns': True            # (optional) whether to use remote or local resolve, default remote
}

, the container exits with:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Try to log into your container, and issue this command:

pip install socks

launch again the script /app/./telegram-download-daemon.py and tell me if it works, please

Hi, alfem.

Thanks for the advice. But it appears to be impossible to log into the container after it crashed. I managed to fix it by executing pip install pysocks with subprocess in .py file.

Did it work? I can add that dependency to Dockerfile if needed.

[Gowee]

Yes, it works. It is listed here as an optional dependency https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/blob/master/optional-requirements.txt. I think it is good to add it, because it is not easy to fix manually.

New docker image in the way!

Thanks! 🙂
