How to use gude https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#using-a-local-bot-api-server

## Before run

Get you own application api id and hash on https://my.telegram.org
Put it into `tg-bot-api.env` file variables.

## Build and run

Just run `./build.sh` script
Or build manualy: `docker build -t <you image name> .`
And run it: 
    `docker run -p <host port>:8081 --name <you container name> --env-file=./tg-bot-api.env <you image name>`

## Crossbuild

Use qemu and buildx if you need it.

Install and configure qemu the way you OS requre that
Get buidlx here https://github.com/docker/buildx
Buildix documentation here https://docs.docker.com/buildx/working-with-buildx/

Run image
`docker run --privileged --rm docker/binfmt`
Or (alternative)
`docker run --privileged --rm  multiarch/qemu-user-static:latest`

Create profile (linux/arm/v7 used as example)
`docker buildx create --platform linux/arm/v7`

Command returns profile name like <gallant_mahavira> use it for future configuration

Show profiles
```
docker buildx ls
NAME/NODE           DRIVER/ENDPOINT             STATUS  PLATFORMS
<gallant_mahavira> *  docker-container                    
  gallant_mahavira0 unix:///var/run/docker.sock running linux/arm/v7*, linux/amd64, linux/386
default             docker                              
  default           default                     running linux/amd64, linux/386
```

Set used by default
`docker buildx use <gallant_mahavira>`

Run crossbuild & export image to tar file
`docker buildx build -o "type=docker,dest=image.docker.tar" -t <you image name> --platform linux/arm/v7 .`

Import crossbuilded image into target host
`docker image load -i image.docker.tar`
