Telegram Bot Core Infrastructure

Issue Summary

Create the foundational infrastructure for a Telegram bot that will provide monitoring and status reporting for the existing backup systems (Plex, Immich, Media services).

Description

Develop the core Telegram bot framework that will serve as the foundation for backup system monitoring. This includes bot registration, authentication, command parsing, and basic response handling.

Requirements

Core Infrastructure

Create Telegram bot using BotFather
Implement bot token management and secure storage
Set up basic command parsing and routing
Implement user authentication and authorization
Create configuration management system
Set up logging and error handling

Technical Specifications

Language: Python 3.9+ (to match existing system Python version)
Framework: python-telegram-bot library
Configuration: Environment variables and/or config files
Security: Token-based authentication for authorized users
Logging: Integration with existing log structure (/home/acedanger/shell/logs/)

Bot Commands (Initial)

/start - Initialize bot and show welcome message
/help - Display available commands
/status - Show overall backup system status
/auth <token> - Authenticate user for advanced commands

File Structure

│   └── authorized_users.txt # Authorized user IDs
├── requirements.txt         # Python dependencies
└── README.md               # Setup and usage instructions

Integration Points

Read from existing backup system logs (/home/acedanger/shell/logs/)
Parse JSON performance logs from backup scripts
Monitor backup status and health checks

Security Requirements

Implement user authorization (whitelist of Telegram user IDs)
Secure token storage (environment variables)
Rate limiting to prevent abuse
Input validation and sanitization

Success Criteria

Bot responds to basic commands
Authentication system working
Proper logging implementation
Configuration system functional
Ready for backup system integration

Dependencies

python-telegram-bot
python-dotenv
logging (built-in)
json (built-in)

Estimated Effort

Time: 2-3 days
Complexity: Medium

#02 - Plex Backup Monitoring Integration
#03 - Immich Backup Monitoring Integration
#04 - Media Services Backup Monitoring Integration
#05 - Advanced Monitoring Dashboard
#06 - Notification System Integration

Notes

This is the foundation issue that all other Telegram bot features will build upon. Focus on creating a robust, secure, and extensible architecture.
