🔁 How to Update Your TelePilot Plugin

Presently, the “Update” button on the “Community Plugins” page of n8n doesn’t directly update the plugin. We will analyse this problem during the next days and correct it.
As of version 0.0.14-beta, please follow this process:

1. Navigate to “Settings” -> “Community Plugins” and uninstall n8n-nodes-telepilot.
2. Restart your n8n instance to ensure any cached files have been purged.
3. Return to “Settings” -> “Community Plugins” and reinstall n8n-nodes-telepilot.

After you’ve completed these steps, cross-verify the version of n8n-nodes-telepilot installed on your system with the latest package version listed on https://npmjs.com. They should match, confirming that you’re up-to-date!

📦 New node: @telepilotco/n8n-nodes-kv-storage, version 0.0,1
#release

We have published a new node that will help you creating n8n workflows for your Telegram CoPilot:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@telepilotco/n8n-nodes-kv-storage

You can install it by typing in "@telepilotco/n8n-nodes-kv-storage" in Community Node installation dialog on your self-hosted n8n instance.

"KV Storage" is a small node, that provides a storage for your variables.
It is very similar to Redis node, but it does not require you setting up additional infrastructure and running separate Redis container.
All values are stored directly in n8n memory and can be accessed until they expire or until n8n is restarted.
You can put your variables in different scopes (EXECUTION, WORKFLOW, INSTANCE) for better organization. And we have also added Trigger/listener Node and few debugging/utility actions to the package to make it easier to use and create workflows with it.

Here are release notes for version 0.0.1:
- implemented scopes (EXECUTION, WORKFLOW, INSTANCE)
- implemented actions: getValue, setValue, incrementValue, listAllScopeKeys, listAllKeyValues, listAllKeyValuesInAllScopes
- Expires / TTL parameter is active by default in setValue action: you can disable it if you would like this key/value to be persisted until n8n restart
- key/value pairs that have TTL set will be automatically deleted after they expire
- automatic deletion task is running in background every 1 second
- Trigger node is listening for key/value update events in different scopes
- Trigger node allows filtering by eventType ( value was added, edited, deleted)

You are welcome to install or update our plugin in your n8n instance. If you notice any issues, reach out to us in our group: @telepilotco_group

Or use n8n community thread.

🚀 Exciting news!

We're open-sourcing our project, making n8n Telegram userbot support even more accessible!
We welcome your contributions. Got ideas, suggestions, or bug reports? Share them in our GitHub issues or fork and submit pull requests.
Let's collaborate and enhance the n8n ecosystem together!

⚙️ Telepilot n8n nodes consists from three components:
- tdlib binary, that needs to be prebuilt for x64/arm64 glibc/musl environments which is done in tdlib-binaries-prebuilt
- NAPI "bridge" library that allows calling tdlib from nodejs; we are using adjusted fork of bannerets/tdl, tweaked to enable musl and arm64 builds - tdl
- n8n node itself that implements user interface, allows authentication via n8n and calls tdlib library methods to interact with Telegram - n8n-nodes-telepilot

🪦 Project shutdown

After thorough consideration, we've made the decision to discontinue support for the TelePilot n8n node project.
With a limited number of active users and a niche audience, sustaining the project—covering expenses like domain hosting, licensing server, and time spent for development—has become impractical.

The licensing server will be deactivated on May 23, 2024, due to expiration of the "telepilot.co" domain. Consequently, all TelePilot instances will cease to function.
Since the source code is available on GitHub, everyone is welcome to remove the license check from TelePilot and create new working builds.

💫 Telepilot Resurrected! 🌞

Dear Telepilot users and community members,

Thanks to your support and feedback received in recent days, we've decided to continue our work on this n8n node to provide you with an even better tool for building low-code Telegram userbots. Additionally, Telepilot will undergo a transformation into a free-to-use open-source project.

We'll be completely removing license checks from the code so that starting from version 0.5.0, the plugin will no longer depend on domain or license server availability. The domain "telepilot.co" has been extended, ensuring that older versions of Telepilot (<0.5.0) will continue working after May 23, 2024, for those who choose not to update.

Moving forward, Telepilot will be operated as a 100% community-driven product, with all features available for everyone to use or modify under the MIT License. In the upcoming weeks, we'll be updating Telepilot and adding the following functionalities (sorted according to priority):

- Removing license server checks
- Improving the Trigger node to work efficiently in high-load scenarios (by adding event batching into time/amount-based buckets)
- Expanding available Telegram Actions (to be defined)
- Provide the ability to work with multiple Telegram accounts on the fly and dynamically select an account when executing actions (not based on chosen Credential).
- Implementing support for n8n queue mode

If you have any wishes or comments, feel free to drop a message in our group. Your feedback is greatly appreciated! 🙏
