• DATABASE_PORTS - highly recommended to change leading value to random one for security
• MEMCACHED_PORTS - same importance as for DATABASE_PORTS

• TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN - token for API requests

Build and run

You can manually deploy all required services (nginx, pgsql, php[fpm], supervisor and etc) by yourself. In this case, you can skip the rest of readme.

For those, who do not mind using docker and make, next steps

• Copy override file depending on APP_ENV you're using

cp docker/dummy/compose/docker-compose.prod.yaml docker-compose.override.yaml

• Place any self-signed certificate into var/ssl. Feel free to use dummy certs from docker/dummy/ssl for dev env - just copy to var/ssl

server.crt //public key
server.key //private key

• Run make to start build
• Use make down to remove containers and stop application

• Change option rule for schedule clear_bot_messages to desired value:
  • For type: cron you can set cron rule
  • For type: every you can set expressions: 5 seconds, 2 hours, 7 days...
• Or, if you don't want to delete ban messages, just remove record for schedule clear_bot_messages
