An example to set up a Telegram bot in Docker

docker-compose.yml

tg:
  image: justingood/tg
  ports:
    - "4458:4458"
  #Expose the telegram-cli as a volume
  volumes:
    - .telegram-cli:/root/.telegram-cli

bot:
  #Build using local Dockerfile
  build: .
  #Link to the tg container
  links:
    - tg
  #Mount the local dev directory into the /app dir in the container so we can test while we develop.
  volumes:
    - .:/app

Dockerfile

FROM python:3.5

WORKDIR /app

COPY requirements.txt /app/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

COPY . /app/

CMD python bot.py

Should that run as root? On normal environments you try to avoid that for server like instances. Is that save in docker?

It is not safe even in docker!

@luckydonald why not ?
