How to configure webhook?

[Falci]

Hello,
I read the webhook.md but can't understand it.

I'm running node-red in docker, in a remote server.
I'm using Caddyserver to expose localhost:1880 as https://nodered.mydomain.com

I'm confused about "Local Bot Port", what should I use here?
Docker maps the container port 1880, but documentation says to not use it.
Also, when I used :443 in both local and public, the node appears as "connected". But if I curl the webhook endpoint, I got 404

Also, can I pick any path I want?

I added a basic auth layer to protect this instance. And added an exception for /webhook

I guess that you can not add any auth. Telegram does not know what you set up on your side.

@Falci in webhook mode a local port is opened so that messages can be sent from outside to the bot. Typically this is 8443 or any other number. But not one that is already occupied like 1880. This port must be mapped to the outer network in docker just like the nodered port 1880.
The url and public port can be different if you use a reverse proxy that maps the port from the public to the local port.
However if your node red instance is reachable from the internet the public port and the lcal port are the same as there is no router nor reverse proxy inbetween that would do a port mapping.

You can configure the botpath in the config node.

Excuse my ignorance but couldn't it use same port, something like http in ?

Maybe we should do a teams meeting together
