- Added an overview link to the installation section in mkdocs.yml for better accessibility.
- Renamed the Command Reference documentation file from `commands.md` to `command-reference.md` for consistency.

Getting Started

Get meshcore-bot running on your machine in a few minutes.

Requirements

Python 3.7+
MeshCore-compatible device (Heltec V3, RAK Wireless, etc.)
Connection: USB cable, BLE, or TCP/IP to the device

Quick start (development)

Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/agessaman/meshcore-bot.git
cd meshcore-bot
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configure

Copy an example config and edit with your connection and bot settings:
- Full config (all commands and options):
```
cp config.ini.example config.ini
```
- Minimal config (core commands only: ping, test, path, prefix, multitest):
```
cp config.ini.minimal-example config.ini
```
Edit config.ini: set at least [Connection] (serial/BLE/TCP) and [Bot] (e.g. bot_name).
Run
```
python3 meshcore_bot.py
```

Production deployment

Systemd service

Run the bot as a system service on Linux:

sudo ./install-service.sh
sudo nano /opt/meshcore-bot/config.ini   # configure
sudo systemctl start meshcore-bot
sudo systemctl status meshcore-bot

See Service installation for full steps.

Docker

Run in a container with Docker Compose:

mkdir -p data/{config,databases,logs,backups}
cp config.ini.example data/config/config.ini
# Edit data/config/config.ini and set paths to /data/... (see [Docker](docker.md))
docker compose up -d --build

See Docker deployment for paths, serial access, and troubleshooting.

NixOS

Use the flake:

meshcore-bot.url = "github:agessaman/meshcore-bot/";
