Client not starting on Docker containerization

[francestu96]

I have this simple code:

const client = new TelegramClient(new StoreSession("my_session"), parseInt(process.env.API_ID), process.env.API_HASH, {
    connectionRetries: 5,
});

(async () => {
    await client.start({
        phoneNumber: async () => await input.text("Please enter your number: "),
        password: async () => await input.text("Please enter your password: "),
        phoneCode: async () => await input.text("Please enter the code you received: "),
        onError: (err) => console.log(err),
    });

    console.log("You should now be connected.");

    await client.sendMessage("me", { message: "test" });
    console.log("Sent to me.");
})()

It perfectly works without containerization. I want to create a Docker container with this code but it looks like it stucks on client.start function. This is the container log:

2024-02-08 17:42:34 [2024-02-08T16:42:34.106] [INFO] - [Running gramJS version 2.19.9]
2024-02-08 17:42:34 [2024-02-08T16:42:34.119] [INFO] - [Connecting to 91.108.56.132:80/TCPFull...]
2024-02-08 17:42:34 [2024-02-08T16:42:34.125] [INFO] - [Connection to 91.108.56.132:80/TCPFull complete!]
2024-02-08 17:42:34 [2024-02-08T16:42:34.134] [INFO] - [Using LAYER 166 for initial connect] 

It doesn't even print "You should now be connected".
I took care of copying into the image also "my_session" in order to avoid the need to login again.

This is the Dockerfile:

FROM node:18-alpine

WORKDIR /telegrambot

COPY ./bot.js ./package.json .
COPY ./my_session ./my_session

RUN npm install

CMD [ "node", "bot.js" ]

What does it could be the problem?

Thank you in advance!

Having the exact same issue here.

Node Version v20.11.0
Docker Version 24.0.7

i suppose that may be because of deprecated input(). You can try fixing it manually

[francestu96]

Still not working even with readline...
Moreover, the input() is not supposed to be called since I copied the session and it doesn't need to call it

[francestu96]

I even tried with a StringSession and used it to connect. Than called await client.start() without any parameters and it successfully connect, yet no way to proceed nor to add a listener for new messages... same output of before

Is it possible it is some Docker port mapping problem? This is getting me crazy

I have the same issue. I do not use any readline or something, because i send session from file directly, and call client.connect()

Did you tried to run the docker image in interactive mode?
I.e.

docker run -it image_name
