# 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.

## Why Deploy Telegram S3 Uploader on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will
host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while
allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying Telegram S3 Uploader on Railway, you are one step closer to
supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your
servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
