Sure, why not give control of your servers to a shady Dubai-based entity closely tied with FSB? https://istories.media/en/stories/2025/06/10/telegram-fsb/

Yeah, nah

Why not just ssh from a mobile device using a more secure app?

That's a cool idea! As others, I'm not too keen on using Telegram. Would it run with other messaging apps like Signal or Threema?

Interesting, didn't know Telegram has interactive UI bot options.

would this work over reticulum with a client like sideband?

Not to crap all over your project OP, I think the idea is a good one. Maybe if we could have the choice of Telegram, or Slack, or some other service, or as @lelovsky@szmer.info said, just ssh in. Telegram is pretty neat and all, but I've never been convinced of it's security. I did test it out once, and even though I only used it in the manner of which you are, to administrate containers, I got a lot of spam of the x-rated kind which are usually just scams.

• great idea
• might need some options
