# Marvin deployment (systemd)
This project is intended to run as a systemd service using polling, a `.env` file for configuration, and a dedicated unprivileged user.
## Recommended setup
- Create a dedicated user: `marvin`
- Place the project at: `/home/marvin/marvin`
- Store secrets in: `/home/marvin/marvin/.env`
- Run the bot with systemd
- View logs with:
```bash
journalctl -u marvin -f
```
## Service file
Install the provided service file:
```bash
sudo cp deploy/marvin.service /etc/systemd/system/marvin.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now marvin
```
## Notes
- The bot uses Telegram polling (`getUpdates`), so only one instance should run at a time.
- If another copy is running, you may see a Telegram 409 conflict.
- Use `journalctl -u marvin -f` to follow logs live.
