MTProto for Telegram

[cracke_sonoras]

PS: Creating a new topic, since this one is 4-year old.

I would like to request that MTProto be fully integrated with Cloudron. At this moment, Telegram is being censored in Brazil due to a court order claiming that Telegram is not cooperating with investigations by not providing complete user data.

Currently, the only way to bypass this censorship is by using proxies or VPNs. By adding MTProto to Cloudron, you would allow Brazilian users running a Cloudron instance to create free proxies so that non-technical people can overcome the absurd censorship we are facing.

There is already a ready-to-use Docker image at https://hub.docker.com/r/telegrammessenger/proxy, which I imagine would allow the Cloudron team to quickly add this new app.

Please contribute to our fight against censorship and for freedom! And thank you for creating and maintaining Cloudron.

Thanks for pointing this out and making the request.

Can you or one of motivated developer friends help by getting things started as per the Cloudron App packaging guide in the docs?

That would be a big help, so the team here can keep focusing on keeping Cloudron great.

@cracke_sonoras Is there any code for this? Cloudron App Store does not run arbitrary containers , we create the package from scratch and review the security. The image was also updated like 3 years ago.

OK, I found https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/MTProxy but that release was 5 years ago.

There is also a strong alternative to Telegram, Session:

https://getsession.org

Or Berty:

https://berty.tech/

Session is a strong choice for privacy and soon will support Lokinet, which is like a fast, low-latency TOR over which you can stream video. Berty uses IPFS (Inter Planetery File System). Both are designed with privacy in mind.

The team behind Session, Oxen, are about to start an alternative to VPNs using Lokinet:
