Local Telegram Bot API allows developers to run their own API server, providing significant advantages for handling large files, performance, and configuration flexibility. However, to understand the need for a local server, it’s important to consider the limitations of the standard Telegram Bot API that works via an HTTPS interface. In this article we’ll review the benefits of the Local Bot API, the limitations of the standard approach, and steps to set up a local server via Docker, including registering a bot to use with it.

🚀 Create your own fast and reliable proxy, register it in Telegram to track statistics, and optionally make it public.

Solution Choice: Docker + Official MTProto Image

• Why Docker? Docker allows you to run the proxy in an isolated container without installing unnecessary dependencies on the server. It’s clean, secure, and incredibly fast. The docker-compose.yml file describes the entire configuration in one place, making the launch and management process trivial.

I develop Telegram bots for specific tasks.

Why me, rather than ready-made builders?
Builders are limited by the functionality their creators have implemented. For most tasks that’s not enough.

A Telegram bot is not just a program that replies to messages. It’s a full-fledged system that can interact with external services, databases, CRM, or APIs.

I create bots of any complexity — from a simple informational assistant to a system with a catalog or live video streaming.
Thanks to experience, I quickly understand exactly what you want and whether it can be implemented.
