Telegram bot template

Best way to create a scalable telegram bot with analytics

✨ Features

Admin Panel based on Flask-Admin-Dashboard (Flask-Admin + AdminLTE = ❤️ )
Product Analytics System: using Amplitude or Posthog or Google Analytics
Performance Monitoring System: using Prometheus and Grafana
Tracking System: using Sentry
Seamless use of Docker and Docker Compose
Export all users in .csv (or .xlsx, .json, yaml from admin panel)
Configured CI pipeline from git hooks to github actions
SQLAlchemy V2 is used to communicate with the database
Database Migrations with Alembic
Ability to cache using decorator
Convenient validation using Pydantic V2
Internationalization (i18n) using GNU gettex and Babel

🚀 How to Use

🐳 Running in Docker (recommended method)

configure environment variables in .env file
start services
```
docker compose up -d --build
```

💻 Running on Local Machine

install dependencies using Poetry
```
poetry install
```
start the necessary services (at least the database and redis)
configure environment variables in .env file
start telegram bot
```
poetry run python -m bot
```

start admin panel

poetry run gunicorn -c admin/gunicorn_conf.py

make migrations
```
poetry run alembic upgrade head
```
