Looking for Working Telegram SSO Plugin, File Catalog Module, Backup Frequency & Payment Alternatives

Hi, everyone!

I’ve recently switched to Discourse, and I really like it. I’m smoothly transitioning from Invision Community.

Of course, many things that I was used to there are either not implemented here or work differently.

I know how to use the search, but I’d appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction regarding my questions:

  1. There is an existing Telegram authentication plugin, but it’s currently not working. Attempts to rewrite and fix it have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have a working version or example? Maybe I just didn’t search well enough.

  2. Has anyone come across a convenient module for publishing various files — not as a topic-based catalog, but more like a file-based directory? Something with version history, big download buttons, etc.?

  3. Is there a way to make backups run more frequently? Right now, the minimum backup interval is 24 hours, but for reliability, I’d prefer at least every 6 hours.

  4. Paid subscriptions — the built-in system only works with Stripe, which unfortunately doesn’t suit my needs. I need a more open (more or less) system with similar functionality and API integrations, so I can connect other payment providers.
