# gramsrv - Open Source Telegram Server / MTProto Server in Go
<p align="center">
<img src="media/readme/owpengram_splash.png" alt="OwpenGram" width="440">
</p>
`gramsrv` is an open-source Telegram server implementation and MTProto server
written in Go. It is a Telegram-like backend for real client compatibility,
self-hosted chat experiments, protocol research, and long-running work toward a
practical community server.
# 🚀 OwpenGram Server
If you are looking for a **Telegram server**, **MTProto server**,
**Telegram backend**, **Telegram clone server**, or **self-hosted
Telegram-like chat server**, this repository is the server-side implementation
to study, run, and improve.
**Your own private messaging server — self-hosted, protocol-compatible, fully yours.**
[Website](https://telesrv.net) · [Discussion group](https://t.me/telesrv_chat) · [Channel](https://t.me/telesrv) · [中文 README](README.zh-CN.md)
OwpenGram Server is an open-source, Telegram-compatible MTProto backend written
in Go. Run it on your own network for a private, closed setup, or on a VPS to
be reachable anywhere in the world. Your data, your keys, your rules — no
cloud, no lock-in, no censorship.
> 🔗 Implements **MTProto API layer 227**.
`gramsrv` is independent and unofficial. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by,
or sponsored by Telegram or the official Telegram team.

- 🧩 **Telegram-compatible** — works with the OwpenGram Android and Desktop clients.
- 🌍 **Reachable anywhere** — host it globally, or keep it on your own network.
- 🛡️ **Censorship-resistant** — no central authority can shut you down.
- ⚙️ **Single binary** — one Go program prepares keys, runs migrations, serves
MTProto, and dispatches updates and background workers.
- 🆓 **Free & open source** — Apache-2.0, audit and extend it freely.

## Client Compatibility
## 📱 Connect a client
Stock Telegram clients will not connect to `gramsrv` because they trust
Telegram's production DC list and RSA keys. Use a patched experience client from
the [official website](https://telesrv.net), or build your own client with a
minimal protocol patch.
Use the OwpenGram clients, which have a built-in **Add Server** option on the
server-selection screen at login — no source patching or custom build needed:
Current Telegram Desktop baseline:
- 🤖 [Android client](https://github.com/owpengram/owpengram-android-client)
- 💻 [Desktop client](https://github.com/owpengram/owpengram-desktop-client)
- Telegram Desktop commit: `9caf32dffc90ddd9bb08ad5777b865f729fa167b`
- TL layer: 227
- Local DC: `127.0.0.1:2398`, DC id `2`
A stock Telegram client will not connect, since it only trusts Telegram's own
DC list and RSA keys.
After `gramsrv` generates `data/server_rsa.pem`, export the matching public key:
**1. Export your server's public key**
After the server generates `data/server_rsa.pem`, export the matching public
key as PEM:
```powershell
openssl rsa -in data/server_rsa.pem -RSAPublicKey_out -out data/server_rsa.pub
```
Patch `Telegram/SourceFiles/mtproto/mtproto_dc_options.cpp`:
**2. Add the server in the client**
1. Replace the built-in production/test DC lists with your `gramsrv` endpoint.
2. Replace both `kPublicRSAKeys` and `kTestPublicRSAKeys` with
`data/server_rsa.pub`.
3. Add `Flag::f_tcpo_only` to the built-in DC flags.
On the login screen, open server selection → **Add Server**, and fill in:
Keep the client patch minimal: endpoint, RSA key, and TCP-only flags only.
- **Host** — your server's address (e.g. `192.168.1.50` or `chat.example.com`)
- **Port** — `2398` by default
- **Main data center** — the DC id from `TELESRV_DC` (`2` by default)
- **RSA Public Key** — paste the full contents of `data/server_rsa.pub`
(the `-----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----...` PEM block) into the key field
