Daily build

This project depends on yt-dlp and it is constantly updated, a daily Docker build pipeline added to keep the project up to date with external dependencies. It is not tested so might not be stable but if you are getting download errors on the latest version you can use daily until latest is fixed.

docker run -d --name telegram_youtube_downloader --restart unless-stopped -e TELEGRAM_BOT_KEY=<TELEGRAM_BOT_KEY> cccaaannn/telegram_youtube_downloader:daily
