TelegramMediaRelayBot: automate content sharing - even if recipients aren't on the platform!

Problem :blobcatdead: :
You found cool content, but:
- friends are not registered on the platform (like TikTok or Reddit)
- are too lazy to click on links and look at
- don't want to bother with saving files or registering on a new platform

Having to download, forward the same thing manually to everyone and clean up your device's memory. Does this sound like a familiar hell? This is exactly the reason I created a bot.

What kind of beast is it? :blobcateyes:
TelegramMediaRelayBot is a bot that downloads content from any sources supported by yt-dlp and gallery-dl (TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, etc.) and automatically forwards it to the right people.

Its trick: It turns your “save → forward → delete” into a single action: throw a link → bot did it all. ✨

Why is this a breakthrough? :blobcatcomfaww:
For anyone and everyone:
It doesn't matter if you share with friends, colleagues or subscribers - the bot works even if they don't have accounts on the original platform. The bot works even without contacts (just downloads files to you in chat).

Self-host:
Full control over your data? Deploy your own version (documentation: zenonel.github.io/TelegramMedi).

No analogs:
I searched for similar solutions - and couldn't find anything. This is the first bot that combines downloading, forwarding and contact management in one place.

What does the bot know how to do? :blobcatcooljazz:
Now:
- Downloads content via yt-dlp and gallery-dl (galleries, playlists, videos) 🎬
- Contact book - add people and send them files in one click 👥
- Automation: Customize how the bot handles links (ex: “If I haven't changed my mind in 5 seconds - download and share content according to my rules") ⏱️
- Group work - supports Telegram group chats. Send a link - the bot will download content and send it to the group 💬
- Proxies and other smaller functions

Expect v3.0 to be released:
- Only a couple of features left to do for it

Future versions:
- Various improvements and innovations - advanced privacy settings, updated documentation and more 🔮

How it works. :blobcatboo:
1. you: Send the bot a link (+ description with a new line if necessary)
2. bot: Downloads the content → Sends it to your contacts based on your settings
3. you: Enjoy life and the new automation in it

Why you'll love it. ❤️
- Free and Open Source: The project is created for personal use, not for profit. No hidden code or subscriptions
- Flexible: Even without contacts - use it as your personal cloud in Telegram. Add hashtags to your files (#memes, #gifs) to easily find them
- Simplicity: You don't need any supernatural effort to get started. Just take a little time to customize and you're good to go. Don't forget to invite the people you want to see in the bot!

What's up with the monetization? 💰
- Plans: In the future it will be possible to support the project through donations to the card or Boosty 💳
- Optional: With the plugin system it will be possible to buy ready-made modules (referrals, custom limits, etc) to monetize your copy of the bot. The basic version will remain free

I'd like to set up SSO so that I can self-host resources like nodebb, freshrss, and znc, and share them with friends, without those friends having to manage a separate password for every service. Keycloak seems like a decent place to start but it requires a database, and I've always found those a little abstract, I don't know what I need to type to actually install and use one. Can you recommend me a good "just show me the code" tutorial for e.g. postgres on debian 12?

edit: actually, has anyone else here set up SSO for self-hosting, with or without keycloak?

I might not have mentioned that I am planning to self-host my mail.

I currently have one server located in my apartment. Bought for cheap a public IP. ISP is #bahnhof. I've read about all the security measures one need to take, but the issue is whether to host it will work or not at all. I've seen both those that host on a residental line, and also those that tells me it's not going to work.

Anyone want to chip in their experience regarding this?

I think I need to just get an HP EliteDesk small form factor PC and start hosting more things. $200-300 for a used one and buying new RAM and drives.

Mostly driven by BitBucket reducing total storage limits. A standard plan is $16.50 a month just for me. LinkWarden cloud is $3 a month. If I *just* hosted those two things (ForgeJo for Git), I break even in 11-15 months. But have full control and as many users as I need.

Plus ability to host other things useful things.
