# Deploy and Host Telegram File To Link Bot on Railway

## What is Telegram File To Link Bot?

Telegram File To Link Bot is a self-hosted Telegram bot that converts uploaded files into secure, public download links.  
It supports time-based expiration (TTL), rate limiting, automatic cleanup, and optional admin management, making it suitable for personal, team, or small-scale public use.

---

## About Hosting Telegram File To Link Bot

Hosting Telegram File To Link Bot involves running a Python-based backend that integrates Telegram (via Pyrogram), FastAPI for public downloads, PostgreSQL for metadata storage, and Redis for caching and rate limiting. Railway simplifies this by providing managed PostgreSQL, Redis, HTTPS networking, and environment variable configuration, allowing you to deploy the full stack without manual server setup or maintenance.

---

## Common Use Cases

- Sharing large files via Telegram with expiring download links  
- Personal or private file hosting with access control  
- Temporary file distribution for teams or communities  

---

## Dependencies for Telegram File To Link Bot Hosting

- Python 3.11+
- PostgreSQL (database)
- Redis (cache, rate limiting, TTL handling)
- Telegram Bot Token (BotFather)

---

### Deployment Dependencies

- Telegram API credentials: https://my.telegram.org  
- Railway managed PostgreSQL plugin  
- Railway managed Redis plugin  

---

## Optional Object Storage (S3-Compatible)

Telegram File To Link Bot supports optional S3-compatible object storage for uploaded files.

When enabled, files are stored in object storage instead of local disk, allowing them to:
- Persist across restarts and deployments
- Scale better for larger files and higher usage
- Be served efficiently via presigned URLs

This works with:
- Railway Storage Buckets (recommended on Railway)
- AWS S3
- Cloudflare R2
- Other S3-compatible services

On Railway, storage credentials are injected automatically when a Storage Bucket is connected.
