Telegram MTProto Proxy with Docker

Telegram's MTProto proxy allows you to set up a proxy server that speaks Telegram's native MTProto protocol. Here's how you can deploy it using Docker:

Pull the Official Image

The official Telegram MTProto proxy Docker image can be pulled from Docker Hub:

bash
docker pull telegrammessenger/proxy

This pulls the latest release of the MTProto proxy[6].

Start a Container

To start the proxy container, run:

bash
docker run -d -p443 --name mtproxy telegrammessenger/proxy

This starts the proxy on port 443 of the host[1].

Configure Custom Settings (Optional)

If needed, you can customize the proxy settings by passing environment variables to the container:

- `SECRET`: Specify a custom 16-byte secret in lowercase hexadecimal[1]
- `WORKERS`: Set the number of worker processes[3]

For example:

bash
docker run -d -p443 -e SECRET=00baadf00d15abad1deaa51sbaadcafe telegrammessenger/proxy

Register the Proxy

After starting the proxy, go to @MTProxybot on Telegram to register your proxy and gain access to usage statistics and monetization[1].

Monitoring

The MTProto proxy exports internal statistics over the `https://localhost:2398/stats` endpoint, which can be accessed using `docker exec`[1].

That's it! With just a few Docker commands, you can easily deploy a Telegram MTProto proxy. For more advanced configurations, you can use Docker Compose or build the image from source[2][3].
