How to run using Docker

[ZMJGMADHPXWT]

Hi there. Thank you for updating TG proxy.

I have a problem - can't run proxy using Docker.

docker network create -d bridge docker-net-telegram-mtproto-proxy

git clone https://github.com/GetPageSpeed/MTProxy
cd MTProxy

docker build -t telegram-mtproto-proxy-image .

docker run -itd --memory=200m --cpus=0.2 \
    --name telegram-mtproto-proxy-container \
    --network=docker-net-telegram-mtproto-proxy \
    -p my_external_ip:993:443 \
   --security-opt=no-new-privileges  \
   --restart unless-stopped \
    telegram-mtproto-proxy-image

docker logs telegram-mtproto-proxy-container
gives me that

No SECRET provided, generating one...

Could you please help me to deploy this proxy?

Thanks.

Added
-e SECRET=f33sdfsdfwsdfsdfsd40811 \
to Docker start command.

And edited Dockerfile, changed line
CMD="./mtproto-proxy -u mtproxy -p \$STATS_PORT -H \$PORT -S \$SECRET --http-stats"
to
CMD="./mtproto-proxy -u mtproxy -p \$STATS_PORT -H \$PORT -S \$SECRET --http-stats --nat-info 172.21.0.2:my_external_IP"

now this image works. But
1) I can't connect to that proxy
2) Docker process consuming 90% CPU when this container is up and running.

docker logs telegram-mtproto-proxy-container

@ZMJGMADHPXWT Can you try with the latest image? #22 can be related.

Hi, same issue - CPU is loaded and proxy is not running properly.

I even tried to run it so (no limits, no separate network)

docker run  -it --rm \
  --name mtproxy \
  -p 993:443 \
  -e SECRET=b01c261a66dd3355218525db663c40c4 \
  -e FALLBACK_SECRET=60ccb376e7865dadfae8d4971d617761 \
  -e PROXY_TAG=60ccb376e7865dadfae8d4971d617761 \
  -v /home/docker-user/mtproxy-data:/opt/mtproxy/data \
  --platform linux/amd64 \
  ghcr.io/getpagespeed/mtproxy:latest

and do not build image on my VPS. But no luck. Logs are the same as previously. It's not going far than the second "main loop".
Any ideas?

PS:
Debian 12
Docker version 28.5.1 (Rootless mode)

change Dockerfile

LOCAL_IP=$(cat /etc/hosts | grep -vE '(local|ip6|^fd)' | awk '{print \$1}')
EXTERNAL_IP=\${EXTERNAL_IP:-}  # your public ip

# Build command
CMD="./mtproto-proxy -u mtproxy -p \$STATS_PORT -H \$PORT -S \$SECRET --http-stats --nat-info \$LOCAL_IP:\$EXTERNAL_IP"

#21 (comment)

This works indeed!
@dvershinin would be much appreciated if you add nat support OOTB
