Running Telbot as a Systemd Service

For Linux servers, the best way to run Telbot in --bot or --mcp mode continuously is by creating a systemd service. This ensures the bot starts automatically on boot and restarts if it crashes.

1. Prepare the Binary

Get the latest binary from the releases page.

wget https://github.com/0xtbug/telbot/releases/latest/download/telbot-linux-amd64

Move your telbot binary to a global location so the system can access it easily.

sudo mv telbot-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/telbot

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/telbot

2. Create the Service File

Note: Make sure name of the binary is telbot.

Create a new file at /etc/systemd/system/telbot.service:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/telbot.service

Paste the following configuration (adjust User, WorkingDirectory, and the Environment variables as needed):

[Unit]
Description=Telkomsel Telegram Bot
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
# Change to your Linux username
User=your_username
# Change to the directory where your sessions.json and other files should live
WorkingDirectory=/home/your_username/telkomsel-bot

# Set your environment variables here
Environment="TELKOMSEL_BOT_TOKEN=your_telegram_bot_token"
Environment="TELEGRAM_ADMIN_ID=your_telegram_id"

# Optional: Enable auto re-login via OTP webhook from SMS Forwarder
# Environment="OTP_WEBHOOK_PORT=8081"
# Environment="OTP_WEBHOOK_SECRET=your_secret"

# The command to execute
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/telbot --bot

Restart=always
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Enable and Start the Service

Reload the systemd daemon to recognize your new service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Enable the service to start automatically on boot:

sudo systemctl enable telbot

Start the service now:

sudo systemctl start telbot

4. Check Logs

To view the real-time logs of your bot:

sudo journalctl -u telbot -f
