How to deploy the bot only?

I noticed https://github.com/synzen/MonitoRSS-Clone has been archived and it's recommended to use this repository instead. however, I feel like what we have here is way too excessive for my needs.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

If possible, there's a documentation for minimal deployment that only include the core of the bot + mongodb container.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

this is the resources used from MonitoRSS-Clone and this is resources used in this MonitoRSS which is quite steep differences. I'd also like to mention that my old machine/vps can't even build the one in this MonitoRSS repo.

while I understand @synzen has to take care of scaling due to numbers of users & feeds that need to get sent, I think most of us that self-host mostly doesn't need this feature. personally, my reason to self host is that I have to use certain rss sources that I don't feel comfortable to put it in the public instances (due to local domain names, keys .etc) and having the bot with only discord command is enough.

Thanks for providing the description and context of your problem.

I would think of scalability as less of a feature, and more of a way the application is/has been forced to be architected because of usage. With this in mind, I understand the concerns but those containers are vital to the bot functions (minus two which is legacy-feed-bulk-converter-service if you have no legacy feeds to convert, and bot-presence-service if you don't care about the bot's online status)

Previously, all of its critical functions were being handled within a single process which unfortunately doesn't scale. Its various functions had to be splintered into multiple services, hence the multiple containers - the "core" of the bot are these services.

Additionally:

• If you force docker compose to only build one container at the time, this usually allows all the containers to build even on low-spec machines.
• Discord commands are no longer supported due Discord's forced privileged intent migration, and the complexity of the customization that makes slash commands insufficient/too proprietary to support

Hi Synzen, appreciate your response.

Unfortunately, the new system doesn't suit my use case. In the future, I'll use Flexget instead. For anyone facing a similar issue and looking for alternative, here's the gist: 4f2df9a2

Thanks for your dedication to this project.
