basic setup

1. get a database, register a number and upload it
2. git commit
3. add your code to template.py and rename it
4. replace lines 22 and 23 in the dockerfile with your stuff
5. if you need any dependencies, add them to pyproject.toml and run poetry lock
6. create a fly app and replace/edit fly.toml

getting a database

if you fly launch, fly will prompt you to create a PostgreSQL database. if you do, you'll get a password. the fly app should "just work", but you need to connect to it locally to upload a datastore.

grab a number, currently at https://signal.me/#p/+12185009004

to save the captcha, you can run

git clone https://github.com/forestcontact/message-in-a-bottle
cd message-in-a-bottle
cp 00-signal-captcha.desktop /usr/share/applications/
cp save_signal_captcha /opt
sudo update-desktop-database

then go to https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html, solve the captcha, then go back and

signal-cli --config . --username <number> register --captcha $(cat /tmp/captcha)`
signal-cli --config . --username <number> verify <code>
poetry install 
flyctl proxy 5432:15432 -a <fly app name for db> &
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:<password>@localhost:15432 poetry run python -m forest.datastore upload --path . "testbot9000"

setting up payments

1. clone https://github.com/mobilecoinofficial/full-service-cert-pinning and run ./create_app.sh
2. append the contents of <full service app name>.client_secrets to dev_secrets and run cat dev_secrets | fly secrets import
3. add FULL_SERVICE_URL=https://<full service app name>.fly.dev/wallet to fly.toml under [env]
4. message your bot fsr create_account name mybot (make sure you've set ADMIN= in secrets for this to work)
5. message your bot eval return mc_util.b58_wrapper_to_b64_public_address(await self.mobster.get_my_address()) to get an address
6. message your bot set_profile MyBot McMyBotFace <address from the last message> (you can also attach a picture for the profile picture)
7. test sending a payment
