Overview

Creates virtual file system with files posted on telegram.

VERY ALPHA SO FAR

Table of Contents

Requirements

  • Linux
  • Python 3.10 (not sure about 3.9 and less)

Installation:

pip install tgmount

Basic usage

To obtain your API id follow official manual. Running the program for the first time will require authentication.

$ export TGAPP=1234567:deadbeef0d04a3efe93e1af778773d6f0 TGSESSION=tgfs

To mount a channel/chat/group

tgmount mount tgmounttestingchannel ~/mnt/tgmount1/

To mount an entity that doesn't have a username you will need to get its id.

tgmount list dialogs | grep 'my friends private chat'

To mount zip files as directories use UnpackedZip producer

tgmount mount tgmounttestingchannel ~/mnt/tgmount1/ --producer UnpackedZip

Use config file to create a more complex vfs structure

tgmount mount tgmounttestingchannel ~/mnt/tgmount1/ --root-config examples/root_config.yaml

Mounting multiple entities

To mount multiple entities use mount-config command

tgmount mount-config examples/config.yaml

Sample config

# can be overwritten by --mount-dir argument
mount_dir: /home/horn/mnt/tgmount1

client:
  session: tgfs

Config file structure

Config file has the following sections:

  • client
  • message_sources
  • caches
  • root

caches section is optional.

Top level properties

# optional. can be overwritten by --mount-dir argument 
mount_dir: ~/mnt/tgmount

client

Contains settings for the telegram client

client:
  # telethon session name 
  session: session_name

  # telegram api credentials
  api_id: int
  api_hash: str

  # optional field
  request_size: 128KB

  # optional field. Default: False
  use_ipv6: True

message_sources

A message source defines a list of messages that will be used in vfs tree construction. Every message source is a separate TelegramClient.get_messages request. Message source is also subscribed to events of posting, removing and editing messages in the entity it is sourced from.

message_sources:
  # key defines id of the message source to reference in the `root` section 
  source1: 
    # channel/group/chat id to fetch messages from
    # string or int
    entity: tgmounttestingchannel
    
    # all the following fields are optional

    # whether to listen for updates. Default: true
    updates: True

    # Filter for message types. If not set all the messages types including text 
    # messages will be fetched
    filter: MessageWithMusic

    # limits the number of messages
    limit: 1000

    # format is `31/12/2023` or '31/12/2023 13:00'
    offset_date: `31/12/2023`

    offset_id: 0
    min_id: 0
    max_id: 0
    wait_time: None
    reply_to: int
    from_user: str | int
    reverse: False

caches

Defines cache storages for documents. Cached parts of a document will not be fetched twice. Usually this is not needed because OS file system does caching by itself. Cache is needed in couple with UnpackedZip producer since the OS file system cache is not applied in case of using this producer.

caches:
  # the key defines cache id to be referenced in `root` section
  cache1:
    # currently only memory cache is supported 
    type: memory
    # The size of the cache
    capacity: 300MB
    # optional block size, default: 128KB
    block_size: 256KB

root

This section defines the structure of the mounted folder.

root:
  # optional. sets the message source for the current directory. If this is not
  # set and there is no recursive filter has been defined before, the folder 
  # will not contain any files
  source: source1
  source: {source: source1}

  # sets the message source for the current and for nested folders
  source: {source: source1, recursive: True}
  
  # optional. sets a filter for the current folder. Default is no filter
  filter: MessageWithMusic
  filter: {filter: MessageWithMusic}

  # sets a filter for the current folder and subfolders
  filter: {filter: MessageWithMusic, recursive: True}

  # sets a filter for the current folder and subfolders overwriting another 
  # recursive filter if any 
  filter: {filter: MessageWithMusic, overwright: True, recursive: True}

  # the following combines multiple filters. Only messages that match every filter
  # in the list will pass. The filter below allows all documents that
  # that are not video, photo or audio and not a zip file 
  filter: 
    - MessageWithOtherDocument
    - Not:
      - ByExtension: .zip

  # in one line
  filter: {filter: [MessageWithOtherDocument, Not: {ByExtension: .zip}], overwright: True, recursive: True}

  # defines a producer that controls the content of the folder. 
  # Default is PlainDir
  producer: BySender

  # producer may have properties
  producer: 
    BySender:
      dir_structure:
        music: 
          filter: MessageWithMusic
        voices: 
          filter: MessageWithVoice
      use_get_sender: true

  # sets a cache for the current folder
  # referencing a cache defined in `caches` folder 
  cache: memory1

  # dynamically creates a cache to use in this folder
  cache: 
    type: memory
    capacity: 300MB

  # optional. wrapper that modifies the resulting content of the folder 
  wrapper: ExcludeEmptyDirs

  # optional. Defines the priority of how to classify a message if multiple classes
  # match its type. E.g. a message with both a document and a text message  
  treat_as: MessageWithText

  # to define subfolders
  documents:
    # 'documents' folder will only contain the two following subfolders 
    docs_from_source1:
      source: source1
      filter: MessageWithDocument
    docs_from_source2:  
      source: source2
      filter: MessageWithDocument

source

Message source is a list of messages which is used to produce a directory content. Message source is initialized from get_messages() request and is updated by events of posting message, removing message and editing message in the corresponding entity.

Producer is subscribed to a message source and takes care of the directory it is responsible for. It manages it by adding and removing files and subfolders.

The content of a folder is defined by a combination of properties source, filter, producer and treat_as.

This will create a tree of empty folders

root:
  everything:
  photos:
  texts:
  round-and-voice:
    rounds:
    voices:

The config will result into

/everything
/photos
/texts
/round-and-voice
/round-and-voice/rounds
/round-and-voice/voices

To fill the directories with files we need to specify a source for every folder that is supposed to contain files

root:
  everything:
    source: source1 
  photos:
    source: source1
  texts:
    source: source1
  round-and-voice:
    rounds:
      source: source1
    voices:
      source: source1

In result every directory that has source property will contain all the files from the specified source.

Let's add filters

root:
  everything:
    # don't need filter here
    source: source1
  photos:
    source: source1
    filter: MessageWithCompressedPhoto
  texts:
    source: source1
    filter: MessageWithText
    treats_as: MessageWithText
  round-and-voice:
    rounds:
      source: source1
      filter: MessageWithKruzhochek
    voices:
      source: source1
      filter: MessageWithVoice

As soon as the only source used in the structure is "source1" we can get rid of repeating it by using recursive property of source.

root:
  source: {source: source1, recursive: True}
  everything:
    filter: All
  photos:
    filter: MessageWithCompressedPhoto
  texts:
    filter: MessageWithText
    treats_as: MessageWithText
  round-and-voice:
    rounds:
      filter: MessageWithKruzhochek
    voices:
      filter: MessageWithVoice

Note that

  1. The root itself will not contain any files because source with recursive flag doesn't trigger file producing
  2. We had to specify filter in "everything" to trigger file producer. For the same effect we could have specified a producer instead.
everything:
  # triggers producing from the recursive source
  producer: PlainDir

The complete rules:

A folder will be produced with content from a message source in cases when:

  1. source is specified and it's not recursive
  2. recursive source is in the context and filter property specified and it's not recursive
  3. recursive source is in the context and producer prop is specified

UnpackedZip

Playing flac and mp3 from a zip archive

  1. Seeking in files which are stored in a zip archive only works by reading the offset bytes.
  2. id3v1 tags are stored in the end of a media file :) https://github.com/quodlibet/mutagen/blob/master/mutagen/id3/_id3v1.py#L34

And most of the players try to read it. So just adding a mp3 or flac to a player will fetch the whole file from the telegram cloud.

In current moment this is solved by custom read function for mp3 and flac files in archives. The read call returns 4096 zero bytes when

  1. less than max_total_read = 128KB bytes has been read from the file so far
  2. file_size - offset < distance_to_file_end = 16KB
  3. size == 4096 (usually players read this amount looking for id3v1 (requires further investigation to find a less hacky way))

See FileContentZipFixingId3v1 class

To disable this behavior use --no-fix-id3v1 argument with mount command. In case of mounting a config set fix_id3v1 property of UnpackedZip to False:

producer: {UnpackedZip: {fix_id3v1: False}}

Known bugs

  • No updates received during reconnection
  • Combination of --filter, --offset-date and --reverse always returns empty result
