Deploy and Host Telegram S3 Uploader on Railway

Telegram S3 Uploader is a private Telegram bot that uploads files to any S3-compatible storage (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Railway Bucket) and optionally returns temporary presigned download links. It is designed for personal backups and private file storage.

About Hosting Telegram S3 Uploader

Hosting Telegram S3 Uploader involves running a lightweight Python bot that listens for private Telegram messages, downloads incoming files temporarily, and uploads them to S3-compatible storage. The bot does not require a database and stores no permanent data locally. Railway handles the runtime environment, process management, and environment variables, making deployment simple and maintenance minimal.

Common Use Cases

Personal file backups from Telegram
Uploading files to S3-compatible storage from mobile devices
Archiving private Telegram content you own or manage

Dependencies for Telegram S3 Uploader Hosting

Telegram Bot Token (via @BotFather)
S3-compatible storage credentials (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, or Railway Bucket)

Deployment Dependencies

Telegram API credentials: https://my.telegram.org
S3-compatible storage provider of your choice
Railway environment variables for configuration

Using Railway Bucket (Default on Railway)

When deploying this template on Railway, a Railway Bucket is attached automatically for storage. If you prefer another S3-compatible provider, you can remove the bucket and configure your own S3 environment variables instead.

Using Railway Bucket is optional. The bot remains fully compatible with any external S3-compatible storage service.

Implementation Details

Files are downloaded to a temporary local directory, uploaded to the configured S3-compatible bucket, and then automatically cleaned up. Download links are generated using presigned URLs and expire after a configurable duration.
