Railway is a web hosting service, you can host anything you can code (as long as it abides by Railway's TOS and by extension, Telegram's TOS)

If you provide more details as to what you're trying to accomplish, I can point you in the right direction to create a project that fits your requirements.

Thank you! I'm building a Telegram bot using python-telegram-bot and OpenAI. I want to run it as a background worker, not a web service. How can I properly configure Railway to run the bot this way?

Do I need to change anything in the settings or add specific commands?

What is your reasoning for wanting to run it as a background worker? That is not a recommended use case on Railway. If you need it as a background worker I can help you set that up, but if you help me understand your usecase I can suggest better solutions

I'm trying to find a way to connect all of this. but when I tried to connect some of the services, they didn't work because the telegram bot wasn't running in polling mode (without a webhook). it should just handle updates and continue running in the background

Connect all of what? Updates to what? Please provide more details about your tech stack

I'm connecting openAI to a telegram bot, and in theory, everything should work exactly as expected. The bot receives a request from the user and sends it through a python code to the openai server, and vice versa. I need this connection because of the bot's flexible settings through the code.

Okay understood. You have a Telegram bot service that receives requests from the user and forwards it to a separate OpenAI server to process

I'm connecting it through my own code because I haven't found a proper service that allows me to customize the bot and connect it to Telegram.

Those two should ideally be different services that communicate through HTTP or websockets

this is a separate Python code that connects the Telegram bot and the ИИ

Do you have a Github repo you can share?

Yes, just a second

https://github.com/Githiber-mine/ai-telegram/tree/main

The code there can be confusing

the main part of the code is located in bot.py

The repo is private, could you please make it public?

sorry i made it public

I was able to fix all the problems and everything is working smoothly

Glad to hear it!
