3. Build And Run the Docker Image

Make sure you still mount the app folder and installed the docker from official documentation.

• There are two methods to build and run the docker:
  1. Using official docker commands.
  2. Using docker-compose. (Recommended)

---

Build And Run The Docker Image Using Official Docker Commands

• Start Docker daemon (SKIP if already running, mostly you don't need to do this):

sudo dockerd

• Build Docker image:

sudo docker build . -t mltb

• Run the image:

sudo docker run -p 80:80 -p 8080:8080 mltb

• To stop the running image:

sudo docker ps

sudo docker stop id

---

Build And Run The Docker Image Using docker-compose

NOTE: If you want to use ports other than 80 and 8080 for torrent file selection and rclone serve respectively, change it in docker-compose.yml also.

• Install docker compose plugin

sudo apt install docker-compose-plugin

• Build and run Docker image or to view current running image:

sudo docker compose up

• After editing files with nano for example (nano start.sh) or git pull:

sudo docker compose up --build

• To stop the running image:

sudo docker compose stop

• To run the image:

sudo docker compose start

• To get log from already running image (after mounting the folder):

sudo docker compose logs --follow

---

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Set BASE_URL_PORT and RCLONE_SERVE_PORT variables to any port you want to use. Default is 80 and 8080 respectively.

2. Check the number of processing units of your machine with nproc cmd and times it by 4, then edit AsyncIOThreadsCount in qBittorrent.conf.

Getting Google OAuth API credential file and token.pickle

NOTES

• Old authentication changed, now we can't use bot or replit to generate token.pickle. You need OS with a local browser. For example Termux.
• Windows users should install python3 and pip. You can find how to install and use them from google or from this telegraph from Wiszky tutorial.
• You can ONLY open the generated link from generate_drive_token.py in local browser.

1. Visit the Google Cloud Console
2. Go to the OAuth Consent tab, fill it, and save.
3. Go to the Credentials tab and click Create Credentials -> OAuth Client ID
4. Choose Desktop and Create.
5. Publish your OAuth consent screen App to prevent token.pickle from expire
6. Use the download button to download your credentials.
7. Move that file to the root of mirrorbot, and rename it to credentials.json
8. Visit Google API page
9. Search for Google Drive Api and enable it
10. Finally, run the script to generate token.pickle file for Google Drive:

pip3 install google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
python3 generate_drive_token.py

---

Getting rclone.conf

1. Install rclone from Official Site
2. Create new remote(s) using rclone config command.
3. Copy rclone.conf from .config/rclone/rclone.conf to repo folder

---

Upload

• RCLONE_PATH is like GDRIVE_ID a default path for mirror. In additional to those variables DEFAULT_UPLOAD to choose the default tool whether it's rclone or google-api-python-client.
• If DEFAULT_UPLOAD = 'rc' then you must fill RCLONE_PATH with path as default one or with rcl to select destination path on each new task.
• If DEFAULT_UPLOAD = 'gd' then you must fill GDRIVE_ID with folder/TD id.
• rclone.conf can be added before deploy like token.pickle to repo folder root or use bsetting to upload it as private file.
• If rclone.conf uploaded from usetting or added in rclone/{user_id}.conf then RCLONE_PATH must start with mrcc:.
• Whenever you want to write path manually to use user rclone.conf that added from usetting then you must add the mrcc: at the beginning.
• So in short, up: has 4 possible values which is: gd(Upload to GDRIVE_ID), rc(Upload to RCLONE_PATH), rcl(Select Rclone Path) and rclone_path(remote:path(owner rclone.conf) or mrcc:remote:path(user rclone.conf))

---

UPSTREAM REPO (Recommended)

• UPSTREAM_REPO variable can be used for edit/add any file in repository.
• You can add private/public repository link to grab/overwrite all files from it.
• You can skip adding the privates files like token.pickle or accounts folder before deploying, simply fill UPSTREAM_REPO private one in case you want to grab all files including private files.
• If you added private files while deploying and you have added private UPSTREAM_REPO and your private files in this private repository, so your private files will be overwritten from this repository. Also if you are using database for private files, then all files from database will override the private files that added before deploying or from private UPSTREAM_REPO.
• If you filled UPSTREAM_REPO with the official repository link, then be carefull incase any change in requirements.txt your bot will not start after restart. In this case you need to deploy again with updated code to install the new requirements or simply by changing the UPSTREAM_REPO to you fork link with that old updates.
• In case you you filled UPSTREAM_REPO with your fork link be carefull also if you fetched the commits from the official repository.
• The changes in your UPSTREAM_REPO will take affect only after restart.

---

Bittorrent Seed

• Using -d argument alone will lead to use global options for aria2c or qbittorrent.

Qbittorrent

• Global options: GlobalMaxRatio and GlobalMaxSeedingMinutes in qbittorrent.conf, -1 means no limit, but you can cancel manually.
  • NOTE: Don't change MaxRatioAction.

Aria2c

• Global options: --seed-ratio (0 means no limit) and --seed-time (0 means no seed) in aria.sh.

---

Using Service Accounts for uploading to avoid user rate limit

For Service Account to work, you must set USE_SERVICE_ACCOUNTS = "True" in config file or environment variables. NOTE: Using Service Accounts is only recommended while uploading to a Team Drive.

1. Generate Service Accounts. What is Service Account?

Let us create only the Service Accounts that we need.

Warning: Abuse of this feature is not the aim of this project and we do NOT recommend that you make a lot of projects, just one project and 100 SAs allow you plenty of use, its also possible that over abuse might get your projects banned by Google.

NOTE: If you have created SAs in past from this script, you can also just re download the keys by running:

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --download-keys $PROJECTID

NOTE: 1 Service Account can upload/copy around 750 GB a day, 1 project can make 100 Service Accounts so you can upload 75 TB a day.

NOTE: All people can copy 2TB/DAY from each file creator (uploader account), so if you got error userRateLimitExceeded that doesn't mean your limit exceeded but file creator limit have been exceeded which is 2TB/DAY.

Two methods to create service accounts

Choose one of these methods

1. Create Service Accounts in existed Project (Recommended Method)

• List your projects ids

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --list-projects

• Enable services automatically by this command

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --enable-services $PROJECTID

• Create Sevice Accounts to current project

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --create-sas $PROJECTID

• Download Sevice Accounts as accounts folder

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --download-keys $PROJECTID

2. Create Service Accounts in New Project

python3 gen_sa_accounts.py --quick-setup 1 --new-only

A folder named accounts will be created which will contain keys for the Service Accounts.

2. Add Service Accounts

Two methods to add service accounts

Choose one of these methods

1. Add Them To Google Group then to Team Drive (Recommended)

• Mount accounts folder

cd accounts

• Grab emails form all accounts to emails.txt file that would be created in accounts folder
• For Windows using PowerShell

$emails = Get-ChildItem .\**.json |Get-Content -Raw |ConvertFrom-Json |Select -ExpandProperty client_email >>emails.txt

• For Linux

grep -oPh '"client_email": "\K[^"]+' *.json > emails.txt

• Unmount acounts folder

cd ..

Then add emails from emails.txt to Google Group, after that add this Google Group to your Shared Drive and promote it to manager and delete email.txt file from accounts folder

2. Add Them To Team Drive Directly

• Run:

python3 add_to_team_drive.py -d SharedTeamDriveSrcID

---

Generate Database

1. Go to https://mongodb.com/ and sign-up.
2. Create Shared Cluster.
3. Press on Database under Deployment Header, your created cluster will be there.
4. Press on connect, choose Allow Access From Anywhere and press on Add IP Address without editing the ip, then create user.
5. After creating user press on Choose a connection, then press on Connect your application. Choose Driver * python* and version 3.6 or later.
6. Copy your connection string and replace <password> with the password of your user, then press close.

---

Multi Drive List

To use list from multi TD/folder. Run driveid.py in your terminal and follow it. It will generate list_drives.txt file or u can simply create list_drives.txt file in working directory and fill it, check below format:

DriveName folderID/tdID or `root` IndexLink(if available)
DriveName folderID/tdID or `root` IndexLink(if available)

Example:

TD1 root https://example.dev
TD2 0AO1JDB1t3i5jUk9PVA https://example.dev

---

Yt-dlp and Aria2c Authentication Using .netrc File

For using your premium accounts in yt-dlp or for protected Index Links, create .netrc file according to following format:

Note: Create .netrc and not netrc, this file will be hidden, so view hidden files to edit it after creation.

Format:

machine host login username password my_password

Example:

machine instagram login anas.tayyar password mypassword

Instagram Note: You must login even if you want to download public posts and after first try you must confirm that this was you logged in from different ip(you can confirm from phone app).

Youtube Note: For youtube authentication use cookies.txt file.

Using Aria2c you can also use built in feature from bot with or without username. Here example for index link without username.

machine example.workers.dev password index_password

Where host is the name of extractor (eg. instagram, Twitch). Multiple accounts of different hosts can be added each separated by a new line.
