MongoDB Atlas Setup

Why MongoDB Atlas?

The catalog is based on full-text search Atlas Search and MongoDB Atlas is the only way to use it. You can use MongoDB Atlas for free, but you'll need to provide your credit card details. You won't be charged anything unless you upgrade to a paid plan. You can read more about Atlas Search here.

How to set up MongoDB Atlas?

1. Sign up for MongoDB Atlas here
2. Create a new project
3. Create a new cluster
4. Go to the cluster's settings and click on "Database Access"
5. Create a new user with the "Atlas admin" role
6. Go to the cluster's settings and click on "Network Access"
7. Add your IP address to the whitelist
8. Go to the cluster's settings and click on "Clusters"
9. Click on "Connect" and then on "Connect your application"
10. Copy the connection string and replace the <password> placeholder with the password of the user you created in step 5
11. Set the MONGODB_URI environment variable to the connection string

NSFW Stickers Checker

For checking if a sticker set contains NSFW stickers, we use a nsfw checker service.

This is a Node.js script that checks Telegram sticker sets for NSFW content using the nsfwjs library. It also uses the Telegram Bot API to retrieve information about the sticker sets and the sharp library to process images.

Usage

1. Clone the repository
2. Run npm install
3. Create a .env file with the following contents:

BOT_TOKEN=<your bot token>
MONGODB_URI=<your MongoDB URI>
ATLAS_MONGODB_URI=<your MongoDB Atlas URI>

4. Run npm start

How it works

The script runs indefinitely, periodically checking for new sticker sets to moderate. When it finds a sticker set to moderate, it will download the stickers and check them for NSFW content. If the set contains too much NSFW content, it will mark the set as unsafe and prevent it from being published.
