Only include the 4 required environment variables:
- STEWARD__TELEGRAM__BOT_TOKEN
- STEWARD__OPENAI__API_KEY
- STEWARD__TELEGRAM__ALLOWED_USER_IDS
- STEWARD__TELEGRAM__GROUP_IDS
All other settings have sensible defaults in config_schema.yaml and can be
overridden if needed. This keeps the example file clean and focused.
Configuration changes:
- Replace pydantic-settings with OmegaConf for flexible config management
- Support YAML config files via CONFIG_FILE environment variable
- Support environment variables with STEWARD__SECTION__KEY format
- Add config_schema.yaml as default configuration schema
- Create pydantic models for each configuration section for type safety
- Maintain backward compatibility via properties on Settings class
- Add CONFIGURATION.md with comprehensive setup and usage guide
- Update pyproject.toml to include config_schema.yaml in package data
Build/deployment changes:
- Replace pip with uv in Dockerfile for faster dependency installation
- Create docker-compose.dev.yml for local development (build .)
- Keep docker-compose.yml for production (uses ghcr.io/djw4/steward:latest)
- Update .env.example with new STEWARD__* variable format
This setup is designed for Kubernetes deployment:
- Non-sensitive config goes in ConfigMap (config.yaml)
- Secrets go in Secret resources (environment variables)
- Single unified configuration system for all environments
- Add TELEGRAM_GROUP_IDS configuration setting to enable optional group/channel filtering
- Add _is_group_enabled() authorization check to all command handlers
- Add group/channel authorization check to message_handler
- All handlers now verify both user authorization and group authorization
- If TELEGRAM_GROUP_IDS is not configured, bot accepts messages from any group
- If TELEGRAM_GROUP_IDS is configured, bot only processes messages from those groups
This enables the bot to be used in group chats and channels with Topics/Threads support.
