# ⚠️ UserBot Authorization Required - IMPORTANT ## 🔐 What's Happening You're seeing this message in UserBot logs: ``` ❌ UserBot не авторизован. Требуется повторный вход. ``` This is **normal and expected** ✅ --- ## ✅ Quick Fix (3 minutes) ### Step 1: Open a terminal and run ```bash cd /home/trevor/dev/TG_autoposter # Make the script executable chmod +x init_telethon_session.sh # Run the interactive authorization ./init_telethon_session.sh ``` ### Step 2: Follow the prompts 1. You'll see a message asking for SMS code: ``` 📝 Enter the SMS code: [wait for SMS] ``` 2. **You'll receive an SMS** with a code to `+821056936103` 3. Enter the code and press Enter 4. If 2FA is enabled, enter your password 5. Done! ✅ --- ## 📋 Alternative: Manual Authorization If the script doesn't work, try this: ```bash # Run the Python script directly python3 init_telethon_session.py ``` Or inside Docker: ```bash docker-compose exec -it userbot python3 init_telethon_session.py ``` --- ## 🎯 What's Happening Behind the Scenes 1. **Telethon** (Telegram library) needs to authenticate with your user account 2. Telegram sends an SMS code for verification 3. The script saves this authentication session to `app/sessions/` 4. Docker container uses this saved session to work as your UserBot 5. No interaction needed after authorization - fully automated --- ## ✅ How to Know It Worked After authorization, you'll see in logs: ``` ✅ UserBot инициализирован: Your Name (@username) 🔄 UserBot готов к обработке задач ``` And the bot will show "🤖 UserBot" button in the menu. --- ## 🐛 Troubleshooting ### "SMS code not received" - Wait 30 seconds - Check spam folder - Make sure `TELETHON_PHONE` in `.env` is correct ### "Invalid API credentials" - Verify `TELETHON_API_ID` and `TELETHON_API_HASH` in `.env` - Get them from https://my.telegram.org ### "Session file already exists" - Delete old session: `rm -rf app/sessions/` - Run authorization again ### Script timeout - Re-run the script - Make sure you're connected to internet --- ## 📁 Files Created After Authorization ``` app/sessions/ ├── userbot_session.session ← Main session file └── telethon_string_session.txt ← Backup ``` These files are **encrypted** and contain your session data. --- ## 🚀 What to Do Next After successful authorization: 1. ✅ Restart the bot: `docker-compose restart bot` 2. ✅ Test `/start` command to bot 3. ✅ Click "🤖 UserBot" button 4. ✅ Collect groups or members --- ## ⏱️ Expected Timeline | Step | Time | |------|------| | Open terminal | 1 min | | Run script | 1 min | | Receive SMS | 0-2 min | | Enter code | 1 min | | Done | **~5 minutes** | --- ## 📞 Still Having Issues? 1. Check the [detailed guide](./TELETHON_AUTHORIZATION_GUIDE.md) 2. Review logs: `docker-compose logs userbot -f` 3. Verify `.env` has all TELETHON variables 4. Make sure internet connection is stable --- **Start authorization now:** ```bash ./init_telethon_session.sh ``` ✨ **You got this!**
