What is this repo about?

This is a telegram bot writen in python for mirroring files on the internet to our beloved Google Drive.

Inspiration

This project is heavily inspired from @out386 's telegram bot which is written in JS.

Features supported:

• Mirroring direct download links to google drive
• Download progress
• Upload progress
• Download/upload speeds and ETAs
• Docker support

Upcoming features (TODOs):

• Mega link mirror support
• More code clean up

How to deploy?

Deploying is pretty much straight forward and is divided into several steps as follows:

Installing requirements

• Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/lzzy12/python-aria-mirror-bot mirror-bot/

• Installing requirements

cd mirror-bot
pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

• Install aria2 For Debian based distros

sudo apt install aria2

• For Arch and it's derivatives:

sudo pacman -S aria2

Setting up config file

cp bot/config_sample.ini bot/config.ini

• Remove the first line saying:

_____REMOVE_THIS_LINE_____=True

Fill up rest of the fields. Meaning of each fields are discussed below:

• BOT_TOKEN : The telegram bot token that you get from @BotFather
• GDRIVE_FOLDER_ID : This is the folder ID of the Google Drive Folder to which you want to upload all the mirrors.
• DOWNLOAD_DIR : The path to the local folder where the downloads should be downloaded to
• DOWNLOAD_STATUS_UPDATE_INTERVAL : A short interval of time in seconds after which the Mirror progress message is updated. (I recommend to keep it 5 seconds at least)
• OWNER_ID : The Telegram user ID (not username) of the owner of the bot
• AUTO_DELETE_MESSAGE_DURATION : Interval of time (in seconds), after which the bot deletes it's message (and command message) which is expected to be viewed instantly. Note: Set to -1 to never automatically delete messages

Getting Google OAuth API credential file

• Visit the Google Cloud Console
• Go to the OAuth Consent tab, fill it, and save.
• Go to the Credentials tab and click Create Credentials -> OAuth Client ID
• Choose Other and Create.
• Use the download button to download your credentials.
• Move that file to the root of mirror-bot, and rename it to credentials.json

Deploy

• Run the script to generate token file (token.pickle) for Google Drive:

python3 generate_drive_token.py

• Start aria client by ./aria.sh on linux or running aria.bat on Windows (Any issue on Windows is not supported and will be closed immediately)
• Start the bot by

python3 -m bot

Note: You can limit maximum concurrent downloads by changing the value of MAX_CONCURRENT_DOWNLOADS in aria.sh. By default, it's set to 2

Deploying on Heroku

• Run the script to generate token file(token.pickle) for Google Drive:

python3 generate_drive_token.py

• Change Bot Download Dir to /bot/downloads in config.ini file.
• Install Heroku cli
• Login into your heroku account with command:

heroku login

• Create a new heroku app:

heroku create appname	

• Select This App in your Heroku-cli:

heroku git:remote -a appname

• Change Dyno Stack to a Docker Container:

heroku stack:set container

• Add Private Credentials and Config Stuff:

git add -f credentials.json token.pickle ./bot/config.ini

• Commit new changes:

git commit -m "Added Creds."

• Push Code to Heroku:

git push heroku master --force

• Restart Worker by these commands:

heroku ps:scale worker=0

heroku ps:scale worker=1	

Heroku-Note: Doing authorizations ( /authorize command ) through telegram wont be permanent as heroku uses ephemeral filesystem. They will be reset on each dyno boot.
