Threadkiller is distributed as a Docker image via Forgejo Packages.

Therefore, it can be run as a Compose project!

Assuming you have both Docker Engine and Docker Compose installed, you can install Threadkiller as follows:

1. Create a new directory somewhere on your system, and enter it:

   # mkdir threadkiller
   # cd threadkiller
   

2. Create a compose.yml file inside it with the following contents:

   # edit compose.yml
   

   secrets:
     tg_bot_token:
       file: "./secrets/tg_bot_token.txt"
   
   services:
     bot:
       image: "forge.steffo.eu/steffo/threadkiller"
       restart: unless-stopped
   
       environment:
         TG_BOT_TOKEN_FILE: "/run/secrets/tg_bot_token"
   
       secrets:
         - tg_bot_token
   

3. Create a secrets subdirectory with a threadkiller.env configuration file:

   # mkdir secrets
   # edit secrets/tg_bot_token.txt
   

   123456:ABCDEF
   

4. Start Threadkiller with the "up" command:

   # docker compose up -d && docker compose logs -f
