Describe the bug
When running docker container with following command, it throws following error

INFO:telethon.crypto.libssl:Failed to load SSL library: <class 'OSError'> (no library called "ssl" found)
INFO:root:tgcf.config.yml detected.

IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: 'tgcf.config.yml'

I tried

docker run -v tgcf.config.yml:/app/tgcf.config.yml -d --env-file .env aahnik/tgcf

System information:
Windows

After google this error, I tried following command, it started running but not forwarding messages

docker run -v tgcf.config.yml:/app/ -d --env-file .env aahnik/tgcf:minimal

The docker method is for people who know docker.

As you are a windows user, it's best that you follow this guide

The solution to the mistake you made

You must use an absolute file path for docker volumes.

/absolute/path/to/tgcf.config.yml is just an example in the docker guide. It must be replaced with the actual path of the file on your computer.

As you have just written just tgcf.config.yml, docker thinks that it is a folder. An empty folder at the root (which does not exist) is mounted in the working dir of the docker container.

Learn

• For windows, the path separator is \. For Linux and Mac, it is /
• Absolute vs relative path
• Docker Volumes
  The -v flag specifies volume to mount. The syntax is -v <path on host>:<path on container>
