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

• make migrations

  docker compose exec bot alembic upgrade head

💻 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
