Messages are not being copied over about tgcopybot HOT 3 CLOSED

I made an app as was instructed by the link, copied all necessary infos to the env file and logged in with a code.

Then I pasted the source and destination channel which my account is in into the env file and run the command without forking to background:

$ sudo docker run --env-file=.env -v td-data:/home/wit/.temp/tgbot/tgfiles radinshayanfar/tgcopybot

Can you tell me why nothing is being copied over?

EDIT: It actually does forward the messages, but only new ones. Is it possible for it to copy all existing messages from source?

Hi, Horuyuki, I understand the idea is forwarding messages, but using the copy function, it's not created for copying a whole channel to another one. So, it does what's supposed to.

@oscarstv is right.
I'll close the issue.

@Horuyuki It is worth mentioning that Telegram has some rate limiting policies for sending message. Therefore, depending on the number of messages in the source channel, it may take a long time to copy all messages to a new channel. So, considering Telegram rate limiting policy, it may not be a good idea to implement what you want.
