Installation
============

# Install npm
https://nodejs.org/en/download/

# Create virtualenv and activate it
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 /opt/newsbot/env
source /opt/newsbot/env/activate

# Install dependencies
make install

# Run tests
python tests.py


Run webserver locally
=====================

python server.py


uWSGI setup (this step is only for production)
==============================================

1. Add evironment variables to your /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/newsbot.ini
socket = <path to newsbot.sock>
chdir = /opt/newsbot
lazy-apps = true

venv = /opt/newsbot/venv
module = server:application

Secrets can be generated using the following python command:
python -c 'import os; import binascii; print(binascii.hexlify(os.urandom(24)))'


Nginx setup (production)
========================

Keep in mind, it is crucial to add gzip compression, it has no CPU cost, whereas
it can reduce static delivery size from 1Mb to about 300Kb, dramatically
speed-up the application loading and improve user experience.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;
    client_max_body_size 5M;
    gzip on;

    gzip_types text/plain text/html text/css application/json application/javascript;

    location / {
        include uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/mysite.sock;
    }

    location /static {
        alias /opt/newsbot/static;
    }
}


Create webassets folder (production)
====================================

Webassets stores its cache in static/.webassets-cache by default, in order to
make this folder accessible to write/read operations by uWSGI

mkdir static/.webassets-cache
chown <user>:<user> static/.webassets-cache
chmod u+rwx static/.webassets-cache

Additionally create folder for compressed static
mkdir static/public
chown <user>:<user> static/public
chmod u+rwx static/public


Run the bots
============

python telegram-bot <account_id>

<account_id> is ObjectId of account from MongoDB.

You need to start a process for each bot. this is a temporary solution

This has changed a lot!
