Ubuntu Droplet

If you want more control, you may run tgcf on a VPS like DigitalOcean's ubuntu droplets.

Steps: Create a Droplet and SSH into it using Termius App or Open Console in Browser. Then in your terminal execute the following commands.

  1. Update packages and reboot

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
reboot

  2. Reconnect and install dependencies

    sudo apt install python3-pip python3-venv

  3. Follow the steps as shown in README to install and run tgcf.

  4. Closing the console stops the running tgcf-web process. You can use a detached screen session to keep tgcf running in the background.

    # make sure you are inside your my-tgcf directory
screen -S tgcfSession
source .venv/bin/activate
tgcf-web

Exit the screen session by Ctrl + a then press d. Now you can safely close the console to VPS.
