Hey there i am getting this message : ( i use Docker container and my n8n setup is self hosted) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/7/6/76a7d2ff08078cc71fbf49a477025e297c4e3f40.png) ---

Hey @Anshul_Soni hope all is well, welcome to the community. Thanks for sharing the screenshot. The error you’re seeing: `Bad Request: bad webhook: An HTTPS URL must be provided for webhook` …means that Telegram requires your webhook to be publicly accessible over HTTPS, but your current n8n instance is not accessible that way - most likely it’s running with just plain HTTP or locally without a reverse proxy + SSL. Telegram requires a valid public HTTPS endpoint for setting webhooks. Since you’re self-hosting with Docker, you could try the following approaches:: - Option 1: If you have your own domain - use a reverse proxy with HTTPS (e.g., Traefik, Nginx, Caddy). Another option would be using Cloudflare tunnel if you are using their services. - Option 2: if you do or don’t have your own domain - use n8n.cloud or [Webhook Relay](https://webhookrelay.com), [Ngrok](https://ngrok.com), or [Zrok](https://zrok.io) for testing. ---

You can do port forwarding with ngrok to make your bot running well ---

you can do port forwarding by exposing the port use -p flag, so maybe you can use docker -p 3000:5678 n8n/latest (i guess) ---
