Exceptional Speed: Teldrive stands out among similar tools, thanks to its implementation in Go, a language known for its efficiency. Its performance surpasses alternatives written in Python and other languages, with the exception of Rust.
Enhanced Management Capabilities: Teldrive not only excels in speed but also offers an intuitive user interface for efficient file interaction which other tool lacks. Its compatibility with Rclone further enhances file management.
[!IMPORTANT] Teldrive functions as a wrapper over your Telegram account, simplifying file access. However, users must adhere to the limitations imposed by the Telegram API. Teldrive is not responsible for any consequences arising from non-compliance with these API limits.You will be banned instantly if you misuse telegram API.

Get compose files from docker directory in repository.
Prepare Config File
config.toml
file with your values. See how to fill file below.[db]
data-source = "postgres://<db username>:<db password>@<db host>/<db name>"
[jwt]
secret = "abcd"
[tg]
app-id =
app-hash = "fwfwfwf"
teldrive --help
.[db]
data-source = "postgres://teldrive:secret@postgres_db/postgres"
Generate JWT
$ openssl rand -hex 64
You can generate secret from here.
docker network create postgres
touch session.db
docker compose -f postgres.yml up -d #Run this only if you want to use self-hosted db
docker compose -f teldrive.yml up -d
#Image Resize Service
docker compose -f image-resizer.yml up -d
[!WARNING] Image Resizer will not work if you are accessing teldrive on localhost so use machine ip to access teldrive and image resizer.Otherwise change compose files to use host network.
Follow Below Steps
teldrive run --tg-app-id="" --tg-app-hash="" --jwt-secret="" --db-data-source=""

You Can also set config values through env varibles.
For example tg-session-file
will become TELDRIVE_TG_SESSION_FILE
same for all possible flags.
See config.sample.toml
in repo if you want to setup advanced configurations through toml file.
[!WARNING] Keep your Password safe once generated teldrive uses same encryption as of rclone internally so you don't need to enable crypt in rclone.Teldrive generates random salt for each file part and saves in database so its more secure than rclone crypt whereas in rclone same salt value is used for all files which can be compromised easily. Enabling crypt in rclone makes UI redundant so encrypting files in teldrive internally is better way to encrypt files and more secure encryption than rclone.To encrypt files see more about teldrive rclone config.
[!WARNING] Bots will be auto added as admin in channel if you set them from UI if it fails somehow add it manually.For newly logged session you have to wait 20-30 min to add bots to telegram channel.FRESH_CHANGE_ADMINS_FORBIDDEN error will be thrown if you try to add bots before that time frame.
