How to set Telegram bot webhook?
I’m developing a Telegram bot, and I want to set the webhook to my domain’s URL. I’ve already generated a self-signed certificate following the Telegram’s guide. However, I’m not able to set the webhook. I’ve searched previous answers and found this one, but it doesn’t work to me. Can anybody explain me how to upload the SSL certificate and set the webhook?

I created a file on my server for conveniently setting up telegram webhooks.
You can use the same file on your server.
This should be on the same server from which you wish to run the Telegram Bot

Get Webhook Info
- Drop this file on the same server you wish to host you bots
- Ensure the mime-type for .pem is enabled on your webserver
- Browse to this page on our server
