1. Create a local data directory. Assume the data directory path is /path/to/data:

mkdir -p /path/to/data

2. Create a configuration file config.toml in /path/to/data. The configuration file's name must be config.toml, not any other name. Please refer to asset/example_config.toml for an example configuration.

3. Run the Docker container (replace /path/to/data with the real data directory path):

sudo docker run -d \
  --name ichigod \
  -v /path/to/data:/etc/ichigod \
  -e ICHIGOD_DATA_DIR=/etc/ichigod \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  dockerrewired/ichigo-bot:latest

make build

That's it! Assume the built binary is /project_root/target/ichigod.

1. Move the built binary to /usr/bin and grant necessary permissions:

# Example commands
sudo chmod a+rx /project_root/target/ichigod
sudo cp -f /project_root/target/ichigod /usr/bin/ichigod

2. Create a data directory at /etc/ichigod:

# Example commands
sudo mkdir -p /etc/ichigod

3. Create a configuration file config.toml in /etc/ichigod. The configuration file's name must be config.toml, not any other name. Please refer to asset/example_config.toml for an example configuration.

4. Create a Python virtual environment with telegramify-markdown installed in /etc/ichigod/venv:

# Example commands
cd /etc/ichigod
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install telegramify-markdown

5. Create a systemd service unit at /etc/systemd/system/ichigod.service:

# Example service unit
[Unit]
Description=Ichigo Telegram Bot Service
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ichigod
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
Environment="ICHIGOD_DATA_DIR=/etc/ichigod"
Environment="PATH=/etc/ichigod/venv/bin"

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

6. Enable and start the service:

# Example commands
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable ichigod
sudo systemctl start ichigod

7. Check the service log:

# Example commands
sudo journalctl -u ichigod.service | tail -8

# Example outputs
# <redacted> systemd[1]: Started ichigod.service - Ichigo Telegram Bot Service.
# <redacted> ichigod[202711]: <redacted> INFO starting ichigod
# <redacted> ichigod[202711]: <redacted> INFO initializing bot service
# <redacted> ichigod[202711]: <redacted> INFO bot API client initialized username=<redacted> debug_mode=false

Development commands:

make dev        # Run in development mode
make debug      # Run with debugger
make build      # Build for current platform
make build_x64  # Build for Linux x64

The bot looks for config.toml in these locations:

1. $ICHIGOD_DATA_DIR
2. /etc/ichigod/
3. $HOME/.config/ichigod/
4. Current directory
