Hello! Could you please explain how to link Telegram channels with Delta Chat? I’ve seen in some posts here that a bot is required, but the whole process looks quite complicated for someone who isn’t very familiar with these things.
Delta Chat version
Expected behavior
I could try to add it by bridging some channels with a bot, do you want to see all the posts from them in one group / one channel or in separate channels?
Proposed architecture:
Bot must be added as an admin to each Telegram channel to receive channel_post updates. This is a Telegram API requirement — the bot cannot read channel posts otherwise. For public channels (like @ia_panorama), you will need to ask the channel owner to add your bot, or create your own channels.
Edit:
Added one way channels bridging: GitHub - mrgluek/deltachat_telegram_bridge: A bot that acts as a bridge between Delta Chat groups and Telegram groups. It relays messages sent in mapped Telegram groups to corresponding Delta Chat groups, and vice-versa. · GitHub
I’m developing a service that mirrors Telegram channels to Delta Chat. It can also send messages from specified Telegram channels to the specified email addresses. Give it a try if it suits your purposes. The repo name on GitHub is telegram-email-deltachat-relay (Aardvark).
I’m trying to run your bridge bot Gluek, but it hangs on:
root@server:/stacks/deltachat-telegram-bridge# docker compose run --rm bridge python bot.py init dc jkdieoksm@chatmail.relay Password
