Definitely Not, Well, Maybe

Appearance

Setup Guide ​

1. Overview ​

Setting up Definitely Not isn’t too complicated—unless you’re dealing with OpenSwoole, in which case, good luck. Due to time constraints for the contest deadline, this guide is not fully detailed, but it should give you a general idea of what’s needed.

2. Requirements ​

1. Controller (Bun + TypeScript) ​

✅ Install Bun (it’s faster than Node.js).
✅ Run the controller with:

sh
bun install
bun run index.ts

2. Bot (PHP + OpenSwoole) ​

⚠️ This requires OpenSwoole—if you’re not familiar with it, you might need an expert to install and configure it properly.

Steps: ​

  1. Install PHP 8.2+
  2. Install OpenSwoole (requires compilation)
  3. Install MySQL & Redis
  4. Clone the bot repo, set up dependencies, and run

⚠️ Setting up OpenSwoole with necessary hooks is tricky. If you run into issues, you might need help from someone experienced in PHP server environments.

3. Database Setup (MySQL) ​

  • Create a MySQL database (DefinitelyNot).
  • Import the database schema (see Database Schema).
  • Ensure MySQL & Redis are running before launching the bot.

4. Environment Variables ​

Before running the bot, make sure to configure the .env file with the correct values:

Bot Configuration ​

sh
BOT_TOKEN=your_telegram_bot_token
BOT_HOST=your_host
BOT_PORT=your_port
BOT_API_SERVER=your_api_server
BOT_REPORT_ADMIN_ID=your_admin_id
RATES_CHANNEL_USERNAME=your_channel_username

Database Configuration ​

sh
MYSQL_DB_USER=your_mysql_user
MYSQL_DB_PASS=your_mysql_password
MYSQL_DB_HOST=your_mysql_host
MYSQL_DB_NAME=DefinitelyNot

REDIS_HOST=your_redis_host
REDIS_PORT=your_redis_port
REDIS_PASS=your_redis_password
REDIS_DB=your_redis_db

Controller Configuration ​

sh
CONTROLLER_HOST=your_controller_host
CONTROLLER_PORT=your_controller_port

Network Configuration ​

sh
NETWORK=mainnet # testnet | mainnet
TONCENTER_TESTNET_KEY=your_testnet_key
TONCENTER_MAINNET_KEY=your_mainnet_key
TONCONSOLE_KEY=your_tonconsole_key

Don't use testnet, it's like a deseret.

5. Running the Bot ​

Once everything is set up, start the bot with:

sh
php run.php

Make sure OpenSwoole is running properly before attempting to start the bot.
