Telegram Backup Monitoring Bot - GitHub Issues Summary

This document provides an overview of the GitHub issues created for developing a comprehensive Telegram bot that monitors and manages the existing backup systems (Plex, Immich, Media services).

Project Overview

The Telegram bot will integrate with three sophisticated backup systems:

1. Plex Backup System - Enhanced backup with validation, monitoring, restoration, and performance tracking
2. Immich Backup System - Database and upload directory backup with B2 cloud storage integration
3. Media Services Backup - Docker container backup for 7 media services with parallel execution

Integration with Existing Systems

Backup Scripts Integration

# Scripts the bot will interface with:
/home/acedanger/shell/plex/backup-plex.sh           # Plex backup & validation
/home/acedanger/shell/plex/monitor-plex-backup.sh   # Real-time monitoring
/home/acedanger/shell/plex/validate-plex-backups.sh # Health checks
/home/acedanger/shell/immich/backup-immich.sh       # Immich backup
/home/acedanger/shell/backup-media.sh               # Media services
/home/acedanger/shell/backup-log-monitor.sh         # System monitoring

Log Files Integration

# JSON performance logs
/home/acedanger/shell/logs/plex-backup-performance.json
/home/acedanger/shell/logs/media-backup.json
/home/acedanger/shell/logs/immich-backup.log

# Validation and monitoring logs
/home/acedanger/shell/plex/logs/backup-validation-*.log
/home/acedanger/shell/logs/immich-validation.log

Webhook Integration

• Enhance existing webhook support in backup scripts
• Implement structured webhook payloads
• Real-time event delivery to Telegram bot
• Integration with notification preferences

Security Considerations

Getting Started

1. Create GitHub Issues: Copy the individual markdown files to create GitHub issues
2. Set up Development Environment: Follow Issue #01 for initial setup
3. Implement in Order: Follow the dependency chain starting with Issue #01
4. Test Thoroughly: Each issue includes comprehensive testing requirements
5. Deploy Incrementally: Use Docker deployment from Issue #09

Notes

• Each issue is designed to be independently assignable to GitHub Copilot
• Issues include detailed technical specifications and examples
• Testing requirements are built into each issue
• Security considerations are addressed throughout
• Production deployment is fully automated

This comprehensive issue set provides a complete roadmap for developing a production-ready Telegram bot that transforms backup system monitoring from a manual process into an intelligent, proactive assistant.
