Root Cause

The Telegram gateway adapter doesn't work on Umbrel because python-telegram-bot is not pre-installed in the app's Docker image. Users can't install it themselves (no pip/apt access in the container sandbox).

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Workaround for now: Use the API Server (port 8642) with an external webhook bridge, or switch to Email/AgentMail.

Problem or Use Case

The Telegram gateway adapter doesn't work on Umbrel because python-telegram-bot is not pre-installed in the app's Docker image. Users can't install it themselves (no pip/apt access in the container sandbox).

Current State:
- Gateway starts successfully
- Telegram adapter fails to load with: WARNING: Telegram: python-telegram-bot not installed

Why it matters:
Umbrel runs Hermes in a stripped container with a minimal Python environment (no pip, apt restricted to non-root). Users cannot install optional dependencies at runtime.

Request:
Pre-install python-telegram-bot (and ideally discord.py, slack-sdk) in the Umbrel Docker image so gateway adapters can load.

Workaround for now:
Use the API Server (port 8642) with an external webhook bridge, or switch to Email/AgentMail.

Proposed Solution

Pre-install python-telegram-bot (and ideally discord.py, slack-sdk) in the Umbrel Docker image so gateway adapters can load.
