# discord-bot — for the bot dev
Start with **AGENT.md** in this folder: the stack, the rules, the layout, the web-UI auth contract.
## How code reaches the server
Your repo's Gitea Actions workflow builds a **release bundle**: one tar.gz holding `main.py`, `app/`,
`website/`, `version.json`, `BUILD.json` and `vendor/` (your dependencies as prebuilt wheels). **A push to
`main` installs itself**: the workflow's last job posts the bundle to the server's deploy service, which
checks its signature and every checksum, swaps it into `/srv/bot/app` (bind-mounted at `/app`, previous
release kept for `--rollback`) and restarts the container. The install log comes back in the CI job.
A branch or pull request builds the artifact and deploys nothing. The test jobs are commented out in the
workflow — run `python -m pytest -q` and `node --test app/tests/*.test.js` locally before pushing. CI still
refuses a bundle that cannot import from its own `vendor/`, or whose files do not match `BUILD.json`, and the
deploy fails if the bot does not answer on its port after the swap.
## Your secrets live in Gitea
Set them on this repo under Settings → Actions. The deploy job sends them with the bundle, signed, and the
server writes the ones it allows into the environment the container gets:
| where | name | what |
|---|---|---|
| Secrets | `BOT_DEPLOY_SECRET` | signs the upload; must match the server (the admin has it) |
| Secrets | `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` | the bot token |
| Variables | `DISCORD_GUILD_ID` | the Discord server id |
Rotating the token is an edit here plus a re-run of the workflow; nobody needs to touch the server. The
server keeps what it generates, chiefly `DB_PASSWORD`, and accepts only the names its `BOT_ENV_KEYS` lists —
anything else is reported in the job as `settings_refused`. Need a new setting? Ask the admin to add its name
to that list, then add it here.
The image contains **no** bot dependencies: the container imports yours from `/app/vendor`
(`PYTHONPATH=/app/vendor`). Adding a dependency means editing `app/requirements.txt` and pushing — no image
rebuild, no package index on the server. The image only changes if you need a new system package (ffmpeg and
curl are already there); ask the admin for that.
## Day to day (on the server, in ~/vanguard-stream)
./deployBotBundle.sh vanguard-bot-bundle.zip # install a release by hand (zip or tar.gz)
./deployBotBundle.sh --status # what is installed; container state
./deployBotBundle.sh --rollback # previous release
docker compose logs -f discord-bot # live log
docker compose restart discord-bot # restart without changing code
docker compose exec discord-bot python # a REPL inside the container (your vendor/ is on sys.path)
## Environment the container gives you
| var | value |
|-----|-------|
| `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` | from `.env` (stack root) — the Bot added to the existing Authentik Discord application |
| `DISCORD_GUILD_ID` | the server |
| `DB_BACKEND` | `mariadb` |
| `DB_HOST` / `DB_PORT` | `host.docker.internal` / `3306` (MariaDB runs on the host network) |
| `DB_NAME` / `DB_USER` / `DB_PASSWORD` | your own database + user (`vanguardbot` / `bot` / generated) |
| `DATA_DIR` | `/data` — persistent, owned by you |
| `MEDIA_CLIPS` | `/media/clips` — rw mount of `/srv/media/clips` (folder per user, for clip submissions) |
| `WEB_HOST` / `WEB_PORT` | `0.0.0.0` / `8000` — published as `https://bot.<domain>/` via Caddy + Authentik |
| `WEB_PUBLIC_URL` | `https://bot.<domain>` for absolute links |
| `WEB_SERVE_UI` | `true` — serve your pages at `/` on the same port as `/api` |
| `WEB_ALLOWED_GROUPS` | `bot-users,admins` — the groups your own code must accept |
| `AUTH_HEADER_USER` / `_GROUPS` / `_EMAIL` | `X-Authentik-Username` / `X-Authentik-Groups` / `X-Authentik-Email` — identity injected by Caddy, trust these, implement no login |
| `PYTHONPATH` | `/app/vendor` |
| `TZ` | America/New_York |
SQLAlchemy URL: `mysql+pymysql://{DB_USER}:{DB_PASSWORD}@{DB_HOST}:{DB_PORT}/{DB_NAME}`
async: `mysql+aiomysql://...`
## Database from your own machine
MariaDB is reachable directly: `media.dumpstervigilantes.rip:3306`, user `bot`, database `vanguardbot`,
password from the admin (`./configure.py --show` on the server). Root is local-only. New connections are
rate limited at the firewall; if yours get dropped, ask the admin to add your IP to `db_allow`.
## Conventions
- Run as uid 1000 (files you write under `/media/clips` are owned like everything else there).
- `/app` holds a released bundle; treat it as read-only and write to `/data` instead.
- If you write clips: `/media/clips/<discord-username>/<name>.mp4` plus `<name>.json` with
`{"timestamp": "<UTC ISO-8601>", "source": "medal", "source_url": "...", "uploader": "...", "title": "..."}`
— the Jellyfin plugin reads that sidecar for the exact recording time.
- Log to stdout; the container captures it. One event per line, `key=value`, keeps it searchable (`LOGGING.md`).
