Github Better: Telegram Youtube Downloader Bot
Here are a few options for your post, depending on where you are posting (a Telegram channel, a GitHub README, or a social media feed).
- Choose a well-maintained GitHub repo with recent commits and active issues.
- Inspect README and sample config; copy .env.example to .env.
- Set environment variables: BOT_TOKEN, OWNER_ID, STORAGE_PATH, MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB.
- Install dependencies, ensure ffmpeg and yt-dlp are available (or use docker image with them).
- Configure a queue backend (Redis) if repo supports concurrency limiting.
- Run locally and test with a small YouTube clip; verify format options and progress messages.
- Configure persistent storage (S3 or host volume) for larger files.
- Add monitoring (uptime, error logs) and set retention policy for stored files.
- Set resource limits (CPU, memory) and timeouts for downloads in production.
- Harden: run under non-root user, use TLS for webhooks, and restrict access to admin commands.
