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/
cd mirror-bot

• Install requirements For Debian based distros

sudo apt install python3
sudo snap install docker 

• For Arch and it's derivatives:

sudo pacman -S docker python

Setting up config file

cp config_sample.env config.env

• 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
• IS_TEAM_DRIVE : (Optional field) Set to "True" if GDRIVE_FOLDER_ID is from a Team Drive else False or Leave it empty.
• INDEX_URL : (Optional field) Refer to https://github.com/maple3142/GDIndex/ The URL should not have any trailing '/'
• API_KEY : This is to authenticate to your telegram account for downloading Telegram files. You can get this from https://my.telegram.org DO NOT put this in quotes.
• API_HASH : This is to authenticate to your telegram account for downloading Telegram files. You can get this from https://my.telegram.org
• USER_SESSION_STRING : Session string generated by running:

python3 generate_string_session.py

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

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
• Finally, run the script to generate token file (token.pickle) for Google Drive:

pip install google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
python3 generate_drive_token.py

Deploying

• Start docker daemon (skip if already running):

sudo dockerd

• Build Docker image:

sudo docker build . -t mirror-bot

• Run the image:

sudo docker run mirror-bot

Using service accounts for uploading to avoid user rate limit

Many thanks to AutoRClone for the scripts

Generating service accounts

Step 1. Generate service accounts What is service account How to use service account in rclone.

Let us create only the service accounts that we need. Warning: abuse of this feature is not the aim of autorclone and we do NOT recommend that you make a lot of projects, just one project and 100 sa allow you plenty of use, its also possible that overabuse might get your projects banned by google.

Note: 1 service account can copy around 750gb a day, 1 project makes 100 service accounts so thats 75tb a day, for most users this should easily suffice. 

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --quick-setup 1 --new-only

A folder named accounts will be created which will contain keys for the service accounts created

We highly recommend to zip this folder and store it somewhere safe, so that you do not have to create a new project everytime you want to deploy the bot

**However** If you lose it anyway, you can redownload it by running script:
python3 download_service_accounts.py project_id

Adding service accounts to Google Groups:

We use Google Groups to manager our service accounts considering the
Official limits to the members of Team Drive (Limit for individuals and groups directly added as members: 600).

1. Turn on the Directory API following official steps (save the generated json file to folder credentials).

2. Create group for your organization in the Admin console. After create a group, you will have an address for example[email protected].

3. Run python3 add_to_google_group.py -g [email protected]

4. Now, add Google Groups (Step 2) to manager your service accounts, add the group address [email protected] or [email protected] to the Team drive or folder
