Deaddrop Bot

This repository hosts a Telegram bot designed to generate URLs for any received files, including photos, videos, zips, and more.

Getting Started

To set up the Deaddrop bot, please follow these steps:

1. Copy Files: Place deaddrop.pb.js into the pb_hooks directory of your PocketBase instance.

   Make sure to replace dd.th61.com/ with your own domain: yourpocketbasedomain.com/deaddrop/.

2. Import Collection: Import the collection from pb_schema.json by navigating to Settings > Import Collections.

   Important: During the import process, select the "Merge with existing collections" option.

3. Configure Metadata: Create new records in the deaddrop_meta collection:

   • botToken: Input your Telegram Bot Token.

4. Setup Telegram Webhook: Make an HTTP request to configure the webhook with the Telegram Bot API.

   Use the following URL format: https://api.telegram.org/bot{my_bot_token}/setWebhook?url={URL_ENCODED_BOT_ENDPOINT}

   Replace {URL_ENCODED_BOT_ENDPOINT} with the URL-encoded version of https://yourpocketbasedomain.com/hook.

How It Works

Whenever the Telegram bot receives a new message, it triggers a webhook containing that message.

The webhook endpoint saves the file ID from the message into the deaddrop collection and replies with a generated URL.

When a user clicks this URL, PocketBase retrieves the file ID from the deaddrop collection and streams the file content directly from Telegram servers as a response.
