About obtaining api_hash and api_id,

Telegram official website, enter your phone number for verification.
This is the only major pitfall I encountered; if you encounter an error during the application process, the only reason is that your IP is not clean. I tried different residential IPs in the same area as my phone number, and after using a proxy twice, I couldn't get through verification with residential IPs in the same area code as my phone number. In the end, I had to ask a friend in the U.S. to help me apply.

If you get stuck at this step, you need the hash and ID to proceed with the following operations. A small tip: carefully read the tutorials in the project; there is a tutorial that includes a set of hash and ID that can be used directly.

data.yaml file

ids_to_retry: []

After completing the above operations, perform a verification

docker run -itd   --name telegram-media-downloader -v /vol1/1000/Docker/tmd/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml -v /vol1/1000/Docker/tmd/sessions:/app/sessions  tangyoha/telegram_media_downloader:latest

After the container starts, follow the prompts in the container's command line panel to enter your phone number. My phone number is from the U.S., remember to include the area code.

For example: 19295188888

Then press “y” to confirm, get the verification code in the TG client and enter the verification code.

Official Deployment

We will delete the container we just created, then refer to mine to create another container, create the corresponding folders according to your actual situation, modify port mappings, and other operations. Note that /app/downloads/ should map to your download directory, and be careful to map the sessions folder, config.yaml, and data.yaml to the corresponding locations.

If everything is normal after starting, the Telegram bot you created will have the following prompt:

Project address: https://github.com/tangyoha/telegram_media_downloader

For more features, you can check the project, as my use case is mainly for forwarding downloads, so I don't have many complex functional requirements.
