# Deploy: Self-host (Coolify + MongoDB Atlas) Run `miti99bot` as a long-lived container on [Coolify](https://coolify.io) with [MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/atlas) (free M0) for storage. ## Architecture ``` Telegram <── long poll (getUpdates) ── container (outbound only) in-process scheduler ───────────────────> module crons MongoDB Atlas (db / one collection per module + system metadata) Coolify env vars (plain secrets) NO public ingress (polling = outbound only; no domain, no /webhook, no TLS in) ``` - **Storage** — `mongodb` auto-selected when `MONGO_URL` is set (no `KV_PROVIDER`). - **Cron** — an in-process scheduler (`internal/cron`) runs unconditionally and fires each module cron on its `Schedule` (UTC). - **Transport** — long polling (`b.Start`) is the **only** transport. The bot opens an outbound connection to Telegram and pulls updates, so there is no public domain, no `/webhook`, and no webhook secret. The container clears any leftover webhook on startup (`deleteWebhook`) before polling. ## Required environment Copy [`.env.example`](../.env.example) → `.env` (gitignored) and fill in. | Var | Required | Notes | |---|---|---| | `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` | ✅ | from @BotFather | | `MONGO_URL` | ✅ | Atlas SRV string **incl. credentials** — secret, never logged | | `MONGO_DATABASE` | ✅ | e.g. `miti99bot` | | `MODULES` | optional | CSV; empty = all modules | | `OWNER_ID` | optional | owner-only commands (renamed from `BOT_OWNER_ID`) | | `ADMIN_IDS` | optional | CSV of admin ids (renamed from `ADMIN_USER_IDS`) | | `WHEELOFNAMES_API_URL` | optional | full `/api/gif` endpoint for remote `/wheelofnames` GIF rendering | | `WHEELOFNAMES_API_TOKEN` | optional | bearer token matching the wheelofnames service `API_TOKEN` | **Leave UNSET on self-host:** `KV_PROVIDER`, `PORT`, `TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET`, and `GOLD_VNAPP_API_KEY`. Stock, coin, and gold URL overrides are not supported in runtime env; modules use coded defaults. > Cron runs in-process (`internal/cron`) — there is no `/cron` HTTP route and no > `CRON_SHARED_SECRET`. The scheduler is the sole trigger; nothing inbound. ### Optional wheelofnames renderer `/wheelofnames` uses a remote GIF renderer when `WHEELOFNAMES_API_URL` is set. The standard renderer is a deployment of [`tiennm99/wheelofnames`](https://github.com/tiennm99/wheelofnames), but any service that implements the same `/api/gif` contract can be used. Set the URL to the full GIF endpoint and set the token to the same value as the service `API_TOKEN`: ```env WHEELOFNAMES_API_URL=http://wheelofnames:3000/api/gif WHEELOFNAMES_API_TOKEN= ``` Use a public HTTPS URL instead when the bot cannot reach the service on a private Coolify/Docker network: ```env WHEELOFNAMES_API_URL=https://wheelofnames.example.com/api/gif WHEELOFNAMES_API_TOKEN= ``` The bot sends outbound HTTP only; no public bot ingress is required. Remote renders use `512px`, `20fps`, and `7` seconds total by default. If the remote service is unset, unavailable, unauthorized, or returns a non-GIF response, `/wheelofnames` falls back to the same plain text winner reply as `/random`. Successful GIF replies include the result behind Telegram spoiler formatting. ## 1. MongoDB Atlas (M0) 1. Create a free **M0** cluster (512 MB — ample for the tiny paper-trading KV). 2. **Database user (least privilege):** create a user with role **`readWrite` on the single app database only** (e.g. `miti99bot`) — never Atlas admin or cluster-wide. Use a **strong unique password**. 3. **Network access:** add `0.0.0.0/0`. > **Accepted trade-off (validated decision).** The Coolify host has no stable > egress IP, so the Atlas IP allow-list is open to the internet. This widens > the database surface. The mandatory compensating controls are: (1) strong > unique password, (2) least-privilege `readWrite`-on-one-db user, (3) the > connection string is a secret and is never logged (the bot logs only the > database name on startup). 4. Copy the `mongodb+srv://…` connection string into `MONGO_URL` and put the db name in `MONGO_DATABASE`. > Storage layout: one collection per module. Each document is a flattened native > document — `{ _id: , ...payload fields, version, updatedAt }` with no > `value` envelope. Payload fields are hoisted to the document root so they > expand and are queryable in Compass. The two non-object values are wrapped in a > named field: `lol` schedule subscribers under `subscribers` (array) and the > daily push date under `date`. Concurrency uses the `version` field (optimistic lock); > `updatedAt` is a BSON Date. > > The `stats` collection uses queryable aggregate documents for command/user > counts and creates indexes on startup. Deleted legacy command rows are > retained with `deleted: true`; `/stats` queries filter those rows from visible > results. A historical `system` collection may remain in MongoDB with completed > migration records. Stock stores cash as `vnd` and embeds positions as > `assets..{quantity,base,dividendCheckedAt}`. Coin stores cash as `usd` > and embeds positions as `assets..{quantity,base}`. Completed migration > records remain in `system` as audit history; the completed one-time migration > code no longer runs at startup. ## 2. Coolify 1. New resource → from this Git repo (Docker Compose), or a prebuilt image. The committed [`compose.yml`](../compose.yml) defines the single `bot` service. 2. Set the env vars above in Coolify. 3. **No public domain / port** is needed — polling is outbound-only. Do not publish a port or attach a domain. `expose: 8080` keeps the health endpoint reachable only inside Coolify's network. 4. **Exactly one replica.** Telegram permits only one `getUpdates` consumer per bot token; a second poller gets HTTP 409, and a second in-process scheduler double-fires crons. Prefer **stop-first redeploys** so two containers never overlap near a cron time. 5. **deploynotify commit SHA:** `SOURCE_COMMIT` is a Coolify predefined variable. The bot reads it at startup and DMs the owner on every boot; outside Coolify (local `docker compose up`) it is unset and the DM shows `unknown`. Keep "Include Source Commit in Build" disabled: that setting affects build args only, is not needed for this runtime path, and would invalidate Docker cache on every commit. Do not add `SOURCE_COMMIT` to `compose.yml`; an interpolated empty value can override Coolify's runtime env-file value. 6. **Health check:** use Coolify's HTTP monitor against `GET /` (returns `text/plain` `miti99bot ok`). Do **not** use a compose `healthcheck` — the distroless image has no shell/curl and `cmd/server` has no `-healthcheck` flag. Note: `/` reports healthy even if Mongo is unreachable (the driver auto-reconnects on the next op); a DB outage will not auto-restart the container — accepted trade-off. ## 3. Command menu The bot registers its Telegram command menu from loaded public modules on every startup. The Go module registry is the single source of truth; no separate command-menu file or manual registration step is required. A command's description plus optional `Parameters` metadata feed both surfaces. Telegram renders the command name separately and accepts only a single-line plain-text description. Both the native menu and `/help` show syntax plus the summary and omit example invocations. ## Operations The live deployment is the Coolify container and MongoDB is the sole system of record. Keep exactly one replica running. To confirm Telegram is in polling mode: ```sh # POSIX shells (Linux/macOS) curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/getWebhookInfo" ``` ```powershell # PowerShell Invoke-RestMethod "https://api.telegram.org/bot$env:TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN/getWebhookInfo" ``` `url` should be empty. If needed, clear the webhook explicitly: ```sh # POSIX shells (Linux/macOS) curl -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/deleteWebhook" \ --data "drop_pending_updates=false" ``` ```powershell # PowerShell Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "https://api.telegram.org/bot$env:TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN/deleteWebhook" -Body @{ drop_pending_updates = "false" } ``` ## Local smoke test ```powershell # PowerShell Copy-Item .env.example .env # fill TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, MONGO_URL, MONGO_DATABASE docker compose up --build ``` ```sh # POSIX shells (Linux/macOS) cp .env.example .env # fill TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, MONGO_URL, MONGO_DATABASE docker compose up --build ``` Boot logs should show `storage backend backend=mongodb database=…` (no connection string), `cron scheduler started`, and `telegram long polling started`. A request to `http://localhost:8080/` returns `miti99bot ok` (use `Invoke-WebRequest` in PowerShell or `curl` in a POSIX shell). The bot's webhook must be unset (the container clears it on startup) or `getUpdates` 409s.
