I'm developing a Telegram bot, and I want to set the webhook to my domain's URL. I've already generated a self-signed certificate following the Telegram's guide. However, I'm not able to set the webhook. I've searched previous answers and found this one, but it doesn't work to me. Can anybody explain me how to upload the SSL certificate and set the webhook?
Go to bot settings, then the "Webhooks" tab. Activate the setting and insert the URL to which you want to send data. Select the events you want to send alerts for and click Save to apply the settings.
To set up a webhook, go to the settings page of your repository or organization. From there, click Webhooks, then Add webhook. Alternatively, you can choose to build and manage a webhook through the Webhooks API. Webhooks require a few configuration options before you can make use of them.
With webhooks, it's generally a three-step process: Get the webhook URL from the application you want to send data to. Use that URL in the webhook section of the application you want to receive data from. Choose the type of events you want the application to notify you about.
I created a file on my server for conveniently setting up telegram webhooks.
You can use the same file on your server.
This should be on the same server from which you wish to run the Telegram Bot
