Owner commands

What the person who runs the deployment can do from the bot's private chat

These are for whoever owns the bot, not for group admins. They only work in a private chat with the bot, and only for the configured owner — anyone else sending them gets no answer at all, which is deliberate: an error message would confirm the command exists.

/groups/grupos

Lists the groups the bot is in, and the total.

/blacklist

Blocks an account by numeric id, everywhere this deployment runs.

/unblacklist

Removes an account from the block list.

Unlisting someone who was never listed says so rather than pretending to have done something.

/broadcast

Queues a message for every group the bot is in.

With no message it explains the shape instead of broadcasting an empty one.

/leave

Leaves a chat by id, and blocks it from re-adding the bot.

The block list /blacklist writes is the second of the three lists checked when someone joins a group — see Moderation.

Process control

/stop and /restart exist and refuse.

v1 had commands that killed the bot's own process and relied on a supervisor script to bring it back. v2 runs as containers under an orchestrator: stopping a replica is the orchestrator's job, and a bot that can stop itself is a bot one mistaken tap can take offline. The commands answer with that, rather than silently not existing — an owner who reaches for the old command deserves to know where it went.

Running a deployment

Everything else an operator needs — configuration, storage, models, dashboards, migrations from v1 — lives in the build section:
