Inspired by this Discord bot.
Simply put, I liked the above-mentioned bot and wanted to make something (a bit different) for myself, but in Telegram.
It is assumed you already have the latest Docker Compose V2 installed (help).
- Clone the repository and
cdto the root folder, where thedocker-compose.ymlis located. - Copy the contents of
sample.envto the.envfile (in the same directory). - Using any text editor, in the
.envmake changes as comments require. - Run
sudo docker compose up -d --build
In the art of programming, you trade off between readability and performance
Previous version of the project (which hides in private repository) was poorly made and barely worked. The code was messy and had a relatively high coupling. Additionally, it was running Redis, which is cool and simple, but I realized I like MongoDB more (even though it doesn't like me).
Thus, the current project has slightly different goals. While it is just a re-implementation of the same bot but with MongoDB and Pydantic, this project tries to follow The Clean Architecture and also implements some unit-tests.
However, this design is overkill. The bot turned out to be intentionally over-engineered, but my goals were reached.
