Demo

Deploy using docker-compose

First clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/divyam234/teldrive
cd teldrive

Follow Below Steps

Create the .env file with your variables and start your container.

docker compose up -d

Uploads from ui will be slower due to limitations of browser use Teldrive Uploader for faster uploads.Make sure to use Multi Client mode if you are using uploader.
If you want to share download links with others make sure to use multi client mode with bots otherwise it will not work.

Deploy without docker-compose

First clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/divyam234/teldrive

Follow Below Steps

Fork UI Repo given above and Deploy it to Vercel or just use https://teldrive.vercel.app.
Download release binary of teldrive from releases section.
.env file will be same as mentioned above and additionally set variables mentioned below.As vercel app is hosted on https so we need local server also on https so that cookies works.

HTTPS=true
COOKIE_SAME_SITE=false

Generate https cert and key for localhost using mkcert and put these in sslcerts directory where executable is present.
If you are using windows make sure to add cert as trusted using mkcert or manually.(You can see mkcert cli how to add that)
Rename generated cert and key as cert.pem and key.pem respectively.
Make sure to add database migrations directory where where executable is present.
Now run the teldrive executable from releases.
Finally change API URL from UI deployed on vercel to https://localhost:8080 in settings.

Setting up things

If you're locally or remotely hosting, create a file named .env in the root directory and add all the variables there. An example of .env file:

APP_ID=1234
APP_HASH=abc
CHANNEL_ID=1234
HTTPS=false
COOKIE_SAME_SITE=true
JWT_SECRET=abc
DATABASE_URL=abc
RATE_LIMIT=true
TG_CLIENT_DEVICE_MODEL="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/115.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/115.0.1901.203" # Any valid  browser user agent here
TG_CLIENT_SYSTEM_VERSION=Win32
TG_CLIENT_APP_VERSION=2.1.9 K
TG_CLIENT_LANG_CODE=en
TG_CLIENT_SYSTEM_LANG_CODE=en
TG_CLIENT_LANG_PACK=webk
MULTI_CLIENT=false
MULTI_TOKEN1=55838383:yourfirstmulticlientbottokenhere
MULTI_TOKEN2=55838383:yoursecondmulticlientbottokenhere
MULTI_TOKEN3=55838383:yourthirdmulticlientbottokenhere

According to Telegram TOS: all accounts that sign up or log in using unofficial Telegram API clients are automatically put under observation to avoid violations of the Terms of Service.So you can use APP_ID and APP_HASH from official K Telegram webclient from here

Use strong JWT secret instead of pure guessable string.You can use openssl to generate it.

$ openssl rand -base64 32

Multi Client Mode is recommended way to avoid flood errors and to enable max download speed if you are using downloaders like IDM and aria2c which use multiple connections to download files.

Mandatory Vars

Before running the bot, you will need to set up the following mandatory variables:

APP_ID : Use official ones as mentioned above.
APP_HASH : Use official ones as mentioned above.
JWT_SECRET : Used for signing jwt tokens
DATABASE_URL : Connection String obtained from Postgres DB (you can use Neon db as free alternative fro postgres)
CHANNEL_ID : This is the channel ID for the log channel where app will store files . To obtain a channel ID, create a new telegram channel (public or private), post something in the channel, forward the message to @missrose_bot and reply the forwarded message with the /id command. Copy the forwarded channel ID and paste it into the this field.

Optional Vars

In addition to the mandatory variables, you can also set the following optional variables:

HTTPS : Only needed when frontend is deployed on vercel.
COOKIE_SAME_SITE : Only needed when frontend is deployed on vercel.
MULTI_CLIENT : Enable or Disable Multi Token mode. If true you have pass atleast one Multi Token
MULTI_TOKEN[1....] : Recommended to add atleast 10-12 tokens

For making use of Multi-Client support

Note What it multi-client feature and what it does?
This feature shares the Telegram API requests between other bots to avoid getting floodwaited (A kind of rate limiting that Telegram does in the backend to avoid flooding their servers) and to make the server handle more requests.

To enable multi-client, generate new bot tokens and add it as your environmental variables with the following key names.

MULTI_TOKEN1: Add your first bot token here.

MULTI_TOKEN2: Add your second bot token here.

you may also add as many as bots you want. (max limit is not tested yet) MULTI_TOKEN3, MULTI_TOKEN4, etc.

Warning Don't forget to add all these bots to the CHANNEL_ID as admin for the proper functioning

FAQ

How to get Postgres DB url ?

You can spin up local postgres instance but its not recommended as there is lot of hassle in backup and transfering data.Recommended way is to use any free cloud postgres DB.I will recommend to use Neon DB.
